Child-Shaped Cats, Talking Hats, Jiggly Wurrms
This article explores Hungarian nonsense children's literature through key works by Ervin Lázár, István Csukás, and András Dániel. It argues that these tales draw from a uniquely Hungarian nonsense tradition rooted in the nineteenth-century language reform movement and twentieth-century halandzsa (gibberish constructed language) experiments, characterized by inventive neologisms, playful subversions of meaning, and linguistic ingenuity. Through p…

Beau-oootiful Soo-oop! The Magic of Sound and the Melodies of Nonsense in Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland
The Magic of LanguageLewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) is a very Victorian text that nevertheless holds a timeless appeal. Alice’s disoriented wanderings both reflect everyman’s journey on an age-old quest for meaning lost in a fundamentally incomprehensible world and resonate with anxieties of the postmodern Zeitgeist. Yet our relentless meta-imaginative scholarly curiosity remains preoccupied with speculations about the wa…

The Acoustics of Nonsense in Lewis Carroll's Alice Tales
This article explores how Charles Lutwidge Dodgson's fantasies about Alice's adventures in Wonderland and through the looking-glass (1865, 1871), published under the pen-name Lewis Carroll, renewed the genre of children's literature by turning the vocal play of literary nonsense into the organising principle of child-centric, non-didactic, ludic narratives. 1 It shows how his language games strategically undermine tyrannical ideological structure…
The Secret Life of Things
The essay focuses on the proto-museum as a major leitmotif and narrative engine of Angela Carter's fiction. I explore how hybrid collections of uncategorizable, monstrous– marvelous objects take a variety of forms, from the Renaissance cabinet of curiosities to the Victorian freak show or surrealist exhibitions of found object composites—each fictionalized in Carter's oeuvre. My contention is that Carter's interest in proto-museal assemblages rev…
