Question
In Alison Lurie’s Foreign Affairs, Vinnie distracts her garrulous seatmate with a copy of this book. For 10 points each:
[10m] A lawsuit over an adaptation of what 1885 novel ended the then-common practice of putting on unauthorized plays based on popular works? The title boy of this Frances Hodgson Burnett novel set off a children’s fashion fad with his ringlets and velvet suit.
ANSWER: Little Lord Fauntleroy
[10e] The “Little Lord Fauntleroy” look was likely inspired by this author. The line “a well-tied tie is the first serious step in life” appears in this author’s play A Woman of No Importance.
ANSWER: Oscar Wilde
[10h] The false claimant in Little Lord Fauntleroy parallels this real-life case. The first entry in A Universal History of Infamy by Jorge Luis Borges is based on this case, which characters in Zadie Smith’s novel The Fraud hotly debate.
ANSWER: Tichborne case [accept Tichborne claimant; accept “El impostor inverosímil Tom Castro,” “The Improbable Imposter Tom Castro,” or Arthur Orton case]
