Between 1869 and 1930, some 200 writers imitated, revised or parodied Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Some sent Carroll's plucky protagonist into other imaginary lands others sent different protagonists to encounter the Mad Hatter or the Cheshire Cat. Some promoted conservative agendas, others advocated feminism or socialism. Among Carroll's imitators were literary figures such as Christina Rossetti, Frances Hodgson Burnett and E. Nesbit.
