英语词汇alice的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Alice; Alice in Wonderland. For over a century Lewis Car- roll’s Alice in Wonderland (1865) has been the most famous and possibly the most widely read children’s book. That there is an Alice cult even among adults is witnessed by the numerous works of criticism devoted to the book, which has been trans- lated into Latin. The model for the fictional Alice was Alice Liddell, daughter of Dean Henry George Liddell, noted coau- thor of Liddell & Scott’s Greek Lexicon, still the standard Greek- English Dictionary. Carroll, his real name being Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, wrote Alice for his friend’s daughter, who later became Mrs. Reginald Hargreaves. The author apparently made up the story while on a picnic with Alice and her sisters, actually improvising the classic tale as the group rowed up a river. Incidentally, Carroll is regarded as the greatest 19th- century photographer of children and his best pictures were of Alice Liddell. An Alice, in allusion to Alice in Wonderland, is sometimes used to refer to a person newly arrived in strange, fantastic surroundings.
