Do You Believe? Peter Pan and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz as Historical Artifacts

Scholars often analyze J.M. Barrie\u27s Peter Pan and L. Frank Baum\u27s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz biographically through the author, didactically, or as pure entertainment. While those interpretations provide insight, children\u27s literature like Peter Pan and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz can also be analyzed as political and social commentary. Although children’s literature is often discounted as a lesser genre of literature, analyzing children’s works offers later generations a view into contemporary societal mores because the generally straightforward plotline allows for subtly incorporated commentary by the author. One can read Peter Pan as “simply a children’s story,” or note the underlying satirical view of Victorian England, consumed with class and propriety, highlighting emerging Edwardian ideals about leisure and fun. Previous scholars have looked at The Wonderful Wizard of Oz as a populist, progressive, and even purely economic, allegory of the United States at the turn of the twentieth century. While valuing the potential of the story to serve dual purposes, seeing the work as an American pro-isolationist document seems to have been overlooked. Studying Peter Pan and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, as both literary and historical texts, suggests an explanation for their continued relevance today. Looking at children’s works as potential social and political criticisms will allow future scholars to utilize these stories as more than simply didactic tales, but as historical texts commenting on societal concerns of their time

From The Wizard of Oz to The Wizard that W(Oz): Greek Adaptations of the Famous Fairy Tale

Τhe children’s fairy tale The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was written by L. Frank Baum in 1900  and illustrated by W. W. Denslow. It has been reprinted numerous times since then, most often under the name The Wizard of Oz. After the well-known 1902 Broadway musical and the 1939 film adaptation, the popularity of this book skyrocketed. Since the tale’s first appearance, there have been countless written and illustrated versions for children all over the world. It is remarkable not only that this book stood the test of time for over a century, but that it is still subject to new treatments in addition to being a source of inspiration for developing interactive systems, as well. One way to achieve this goal was by using the methodology of the so-called “Wizard of (W)Oz studies”. This essay examines two contemporary Greek adaptations for young children, and compares them with the “pre-text” of Baum’s original work.My aim is to attempt a comparative narrative analysis and to investigate the ways in which the story has changed and developed in different illustrative types through intertextuality. I will endeavour to determine how the original text was altered and adjusted to young Greek audiences, and how that process of adaptation was influenced by the cultural, social and ideological components of its time

An American Tale: Incarnations of the Wizard of Oz and the Negotiation of Identity, Race, and Gender, in Popular Culture

The purpose of this study is to address the way in which several quite varied and often commodified representations of L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) express and reproduce shifting notions of national identity within American culture across the twentieth century and at the beginning of our own. This thesis pursues the question of national identity that the American myth perpetuates throughout the twentieth century and examines the shift in citizenship through representations found in popular culture’s re-writings of the Wizard of Oz tale. This thesis evaluates both original and contemporary adaptations of the Oz story and their deconstruction for sociohistorical representations of racial, gendered, class, and national identity. I argue, that the numerous historical and ideological comparisons from the Oz tale reflect our own world in our discussions of identity, race, class, and gender and have become significant reflections of our own imaginations and national identity
