Abstract
Abstract:This article explores the rise of diversion genres in the South Australian Adelaide Observer in the 1860s. Setting examples of the Australian periodical at play within a larger British context of competitive leisure, I argue that the Observer's Christmas pages present competitive periodical diversions as essential to observing the holiday. Further, the Observer's serial reprinting of Alice in Wonderland in its Christmas pages underscores the puzzle-like quality of Carroll's Alice such that Alice and the Christmas pages reify one another's status as competitive diversions.
