The World in Play: Portraits of a Victorian Concept
Matthew Kaiser
The World in Play tells the story of how certain Victorian literary misfits-working-class melodramatists of the 1830s, the reclusive Emily Bronte, free-spirits Robert Louis Stevenson and John Muir, mischievous Oscar Wilde, among others-struggled to find their bearings in a modern world trapped, like Alice, in play, in a ludic microcosm of itself.
