The story has been adapted for film, television, and theater across a range of mediums including animation, claymation, live action, musical, and dance. Frequently, the story inspires a sentimental, nostalgic response—as well as a corresponding dismissive response from critics. It is surprising that, despite its longevity and popularity, \u003ci\u003eThe Velveteen Rabbit\u003c\/i\u003e has inspired a relatively thin dossier of serious literary scholarship, a gap that this volume seeks to correct.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While each essay can stand alone, the chapters in \u003ci\u003e\"The Velveteen Rabbit\" at 100 \u003c\/i\u003eflow in a coherent sequence from beginning to end, showing connections between readings from a wide array of critical approaches. Philosophical and cultural studies lead us to consider the meaning of love and reality in ways both timeless and temporal. The Velveteen Rabbit is an Anthropocene Rabbit. He is also disabled. Here a traditional exegetical reading sits alongside queering the text. Collectively, these essays more than double the amount of serious scholarship on \u003ci\u003eThe Velveteen Rabbit\u003c\/i\u003e. Combining hindsight with evolving sensibilities about representation, the contributors offer thirteen ways of looking at this Rabbit that Margery Williams gave us—ways that we can also use to look at other classic storybooks.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52600618385688,"sku":"9781496845993","price":66.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-velveteen-rabbit-at-100-hardback-9781496845993","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
