Susina, Jan (8 September 2009). The Place of Lewis Carroll in Children's Literature. Routledge. doi: 10.4324/9780203869314. ISBN 978-1-135-25440-7. Nina Auerbach discusses how the novel revolves around eating and drinking which "motivates much of her [Alice's] behaviour", for the story is essentially about things "entering and leaving her mouth." [56] The animals of Wonderland are of particular interest, for Alice's relation to them shifts constantly because, as Lovell-Smith states, Alice's changes in size continually reposition her in the food chain, serving as a way to make her acutely aware of the 'eat or be eaten' attitude that permeates Wonderland.

I wouldn’t change a single thing about it. This book is so creative and absolutely crazy and I loved every second of it. So nonsensical and random. Didn’t really have much of a ‘porpoise’ (purpose 😉 ) but it’s a children’s book so who cares?

Alice is an example of the literary nonsense genre. [58] According to Humphrey Carpenter, Alice 's brand of nonsense embraces the nihilistic and existential. Characters in nonsensical episodes such as the Mad Tea Party, in which it is always the same time, go on posing paradoxes that are never resolved. [59] Rules and games [ edit ] Through the Looking Glass begins the adventure anew when Alice steps through a mirror into another magical world where she can instantly be made queen if she can only get to the other side of the colossal chessboard. Fans of Carroll will also delight in the inclusion of Alice’s Adventures Underground, the original unpublished manuscript written for the three daughters of a family friend that would later be transformed into Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Godard, Colette (23 December 1992). "Lointaine Alice". Le Monde (in French). p.15. ProQuest 2554286418. Bill the Lizard may be a play on the name of British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli. [26] One of Tenniel's illustrations in Through the Looking-Glass—the 1871 sequel to Alice—depicts the character referred to as the "Man in White Paper" (whom Alice meets on a train) as a caricature of Disraeli, wearing a paper hat. [27] The illustrations of the Lion and the Unicorn (also in Looking-Glass) look like Tenniel's Punch illustrations of William Ewart Gladstone and Disraeli, although Gardner says there is "no proof" that they were intended to represent these politicians. [28]

Witty, whimsical, and often nonsensical, the fiction of Lewis Carroll has been popular with both children and adults for over 150 years. The newest edition to the Leatherbound Classics series from Canterbury Classics, Lewis Carroll takes readers on a trip down the rabbit hole in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, where height is dynamic, animals talk, and the best solutions to drying off are a dry lecture on William the Conqueror and a Caucus Race in which everyone runs in circles and there is no clear winner. a b c d e f McCrum, Robert (20 January 2014).

Wonderland is always a powerful metaphor or idea to work with," says Bailey. And that's what the V&A show is interested in: how one man's nonsensical story, made up to entertain a little girl, has allowed so many generations of readers and so many restlessly reinventing artists to go down the rabbit hole of their own imagination.
