Alice to the Lighthouse is the first and only full-length study of
the relation between children's literature and writing for adults.
Lewis Carroll's Alice books created a revolution in writing for and
about children which had repercussions not only for subsequent
children's writers - such as Stevenson, Kipling, Nesbit, Frances
Hodgson Burnett and Mark Twain - but for Virginia Woolf and her
generation. Virginia Woolf's celebration of writing as play rather
than preaching is the twin of the Post-Impressionist art championed
by Roger Fry. Dusinberre connects books for children in the late
nineteenth century with developments in education and psychology,
all of which feed into the modernism of the early twentieth
century.
