This book is a literary analysis of J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan in all
its different versions -- key rewritings, dramatisations, prequels,
and sequels -- and includes a synthesis of the main critical
interpretations of the text over its history. A comprehensive and
intelligent study of the Peter Pan phenomenon, this study discusses
the book's complicated textual history, exploring its origins in
the Harlequinade theatrical tradition and British pantomime in the
nineteenth century. Stirling investigates potential textual and
extra-textual sources for Peter Pan, the critical tendency to seek
sources in Barrie's own biography, and the proliferation of
prequels and sequels aiming to explain, contextualize, or close
off, Barrie's exploration of the imagination. The sources
considered include Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson's Starcatchers
trilogy, Regis Loisel's six-part Peter Pan graphic novel in French
(1990-2004), Andrew Birkin's The Lost Boys series, the films Hook
(1991), Peter Pan (2003) and Finding Neverland (2004), and
Geraldine McCaughrean's "official sequel" Peter Pan in Scarlet
(2006), among others.
