Abstract

This paper is a critique of the book â€œLewis Carroll in Russia: Translations of Alice in Wonderland 1879â€“1989â€ by Fan Parker, Ph.D., which reviews eleven Russian versions of the childrenâ€™s classic. Detailed analysis of Dr. Parkerâ€™s book has led the author to conclude that most of its principal arguments and findings are unsubstantiated, mistaken, biased or inexpert, and that it cannot possibly be seen as a source of authority in literary translation studies.
