| L. Frank Baumâ s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz first appeared in print in September 1900 and has since become a classic in the world of childrenâ s literature. Often described as Americaâ s first original fairy tale, it has helped establish a fantasy tradition in American literature. Dorothy Gale, the central character in the novel, is one of the first female characters in American literature to go on a quest, and this aspect of the novel adds to its contemporary relevance and appeal. This Broadview Edition provides primary source documents that help shed light on Baumâ s inspirations, his contemporaries, his thoughts on writing, and reviews from the novelâ s first release. The edition also includes an introduction, original annotations, a chronology of Baumâ s life, and a comprehensive bibliography. All of William Wallace Denslowâ s in-text illustrations are included in black and white, and the original color plates are reproduced in color inserts. |
