Description - Pinocchio Goes Postmodern by Richard Wunderlich

In the first full-length study in English of Carlo Collodi's The Adventures of Pinocchio , the authors show how the checkered history of the puppet illuminates social change from the pre World War One era to the present. Placing the puppet in a variety of contexts, the authors chart the progression of this childhood tale that has frequently undergone dramatic revisions to suit America's idea of children's literature.
