Om The Future of the Nineteenth-Century Dream-Child

This book investigates the reappearance of the 19th-century dream-child from the Golden Age of Children¿s Literature, both in the Harry Potter series and in other current popular works. Discussing Harry Potter as a reincarnation of Carroll¿s Alice and Barrie¿s Peter Pan, it then examines revisions of the dream-child in texts and films that have inspired mass fandom in the 21st century such as Twilight, 50 Shades of Grey and The Hunger Games. It not only explores how the dream-child has returned to reflect misgivings about imagined dystopian futures but also reveals how the rebirth of the dream-child opens up possibilities for new narratives where happy endings remain viable against all odds.
