This classic tale, written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre. Alice in Wonderland is not just a children’s classic or a favorite family film; it’s a celebration of nonsense for anyone who has ever wanted to poke fun at the “grown up” world and sometimes its lack of imagination. The reason we are still reading and enjoying his work today is its astute, good–humored satire and the power of imagination. Falling deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole, we have the privilege of peeking inside the mind of Lewis Carroll—a brilliant mathematician intrigued by the beauty of chaos, delighted by the logic of nonsense and frustrated at the rigidity of his Victorian world—not for his own sake, but for children like Alice and her sisters, who were taught too soon to silence their imaginations and keep their dreams to themselves. But through this fantastical journey, we begin to understand that it is also a story about maturing and finding one’s place in the world. Alice is trying to navigate the confusing, sometimes contradictory world of adults as she leaves her childhood behind. Throughout the story, her body changes shapes and sizes, she travels through a land where the rules are constantly changing and cause and effect seem random. These obstacles are similar to the challenges children face as they go through puberty and face higher expectations. Alice must figure out who to listen to and who to ignore. As she makes decisions, she learns to trust her own judgment and feel confident in herself. Trudy Moffatt Director Page 1 INTRODUCTION ALICE IN WONDERLAND—SYNOPSIS Alice is taking a break from her boring school lessons and pops outside to chase a beautiful butterfly. When her sister allows her just a few more minutes in the wonderful warm air, Alice drowsily sits down to dream. Suddenly, she wakes up and catches sight of a White Rabbit in a waistcoat running by her. The White Rabbit pulls out a pocket watch, exclaims he is late and doesn’t know what to do. When Alice engages the Rabbit, he decides he just doesn’t have the time and heads down the Rabbit hole with Alice in pursuit. Eventually, Alice arrives at the very bottom of the Rabbit hole. A room full of doors and no way out. With a little help from the small door, she finds a bottle marked “DRINK ME” and downs the contents. She shrinks down to the right size to enter the most beautiful garden in Wonderland. It is in this garden that she meets the Caterpillar and the Cheshire Cat and we learn that all is not right in Wonderland. Alice wants to find the Rabbit and go to the Queens Unbirthday Party, so she sets off to find the Rabbit. She finds the Rabbit and the Cheshire Cat at the Duchess’ bakery, who is preparing the tarts for the Queens Soirée. After a hilarious baking routine, they decide that Alice needs to see the Hatter if she is going to get an invitation to the Party. In the meantime, we are introduced to the evil Knave of Hearts. The Knave will stop at nothing to conquer the kingdom from the Queen of Hearts. The Cheshire cat hears his plotting and challenges him. When Alice arrives at the Mad Hatter’s abode, a Tea Party is in full swing. She is surprised to find the Hatter is not interested in helping her. Finally, after much persuasion and help from her new–found friends, the Hatter decides to help Alice get an invitation and through this exercise she begins to find her muchness and her imagination. Leaving the Hatter behind, she journeys to the seaside, which is the quickest way to the Queen’s Palace. There, she meets the Mock Turtle, who has a story of his own to tell. Just when we thought everything would turn out okay, the Knave intercepts Alice, stealing the tarts and dragging her off the Queen’s dungeons. When her friends find out the Knave has taken Alice, they summon all their courage and go to save her. The craziness that follows must be watched to be believed. Needless, to say, no one loses their head and it is a very happy ending for all concerned. Well, except for one Knave of Hearts… Page 2 ABOUT THE WRITER Lewis Carroll is the pseudonym of mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, which he adopted when publishing his famous children’s novels. The son of a Cheshire parson, Dodgson grew up in a large family which enjoyed composing magazines and putting on plays. In 1851, he went to Christ Church, Oxford. By 1855, he was a fellow, lecturing in mathematics. He occupied a tower in the college for the rest of his life. He wrote many books on mathematics and logic, and enjoyed inventing puzzles and games and playing croquet. His love of paradox and nonsense and his fondness for small children led to the writing of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865), a story which he began while rowing Lorina, Alice and Edith, the three small daughters of the College Dean H G Liddell, up the Thames for a picnic near Binsey.

Wonderful books for a wonderful priceBy llamapyrLewis Carroll must've been the greatest children's book author of his time. I really admire his writing style and the creativity of his books, having grown up on them since I was 6. I've got a bunch of his novels in hardcover and paperback sitting on my shelves, so it seemed only right to add some digital versions to my library :)Anyway, I came here looking for Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and found this set, and for a mere 99 cents it seemed worth a look.

  • Christ Church Library, Carroll Collection
    Christ Church Library, Carroll Collection Digitised image notes and captions by Edward Wakeling G10 - The Hunting of the Snark - Printed Proofs of the Illustrations Introductory Notes: Charles L. Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) began composing the epic poem, The Hunting of the Snark, on 22 July 1874. He tells us that the last line of the last stanza, “For the Snark was a Boojum, you see” came into his head while on a solitary walk over the North Downs near Guildford on 18 July, and the rest was composed, backwards. That night he had helped care for his cousin and godson, Charlie Wilcox, who was dying of consumption. He recorded in his Diaries that he completed the poem of 88 stanzas on 6 November 1875. However, this was not the case – he continued writing stanzas until 17 January 1876, when the poem was complete in 141 stanzas, covering eight cantos, each called a “Fit.” Originally intended for inclusion in another story for children, The Hunting of the Snark became long enough for publication in its own right. Dodgson chose Henry Holiday, artist, sculptor, and stained-glass window designer, as the illustrator of the Snark. The first mention of this arrangement comes in Dodgson’s Diaries on 23 November 1874 when he invited John Ruskin for a talk about the pictures that Holiday had submitted so far. Dodgson recorded that Ruskin, whose advice he valued, “...disheartened me by holding out no hopes that Holiday would be able to illustrate a book satisfactorily.” However, the commission remained and Holiday later reminisced that Dodgson “wrote to me asking if I would design three illustrations to The Hunting of the Snark, in three cantos, of which he sent me the MS.

  • Untangling the Knot
    Untangling the Knot An Analysis of Lewis Carroll’s The Hunting of the Snark ''A knot!” said Alice. "Oh, do let me help to undo it!"1 “These problems were all called Knots and were told in the form of stories.” Belle Moses, the author of Lewis Carroll In Wonderland And At Home on Carroll’s puzzle and logic books2 In 1872, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson wrote a monograph on The New Belfry of Christ Church, Oxford. He used the pseudonym D. C. L., a rather elementary scrambling of his initials, last name first, for Dodgson, Charles Lutwidge. In a further story in the set, he created himself as a character, Mr. De Ciel, a phonetic sounding out of those same scrambled initials, which had the added appeal of meaning “Of Heaven” in French. “Everything has a moral,” he wrote, as D. C. L., “if you choose to look for it.”3 In this, he was echoing the words he’d put in the mouth of the Duchess in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland years before, which was, “Everything’s got a moral, if only you can find it.” Years later, he’d have Sylvie of Sylvie and Bruno say, “There generally is a Moral.”4 1 Quotation selected by Carroll to head his appendix of answers to the Knots presented in A Tangled Tale, Carroll, Lewis, 1832-1898.

With Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865), children’s literature escaped from the grimly moral tone of evangelical tracts to delight in magical worlds populated by talking rabbits and stubborn lobsters. A key work in modern fantasy literature, it is the prototype of the portal quest, in which readers are invited to follow the protagonist into an alternate world of the fantastic. The Alice books are one of the best-known works in world literature. They have been translated into over one hundred languages, and are referenced and cited in academic works and popular culture to this day.

The real testament to Carroll’s genius is that after a century and a half, he is still held in the highest esteem by an ever-growing audience of young and old, novice and scholar, logician and lover of nonsense”. Nicholas Falletta The Nicholas Falletta Collection of Lewis Carroll Books and Manuscripts Wednesday 30 November at 2.00pm South Kensington – One of the most considered and thoughtfully-assembled collections of Lewis Carroll material, The Nicholas Falletta Collection of Lewis Carroll Books and Manuscripts will be offered at Christie’s South Kensington on 30 November 2005. Comprising in excess of 120 lots, the sale illuminates the life and personality of this remarkable, many-talented man who wrote some of the best-loved childrens’ books in the English language. Featuring first editions, personal letters, original illustrations, books owned by Carroll, or given by him to his friends (both young and old), rare mathematical textbooks, and little-known games and puzzles, the collection is estimated to fetch in excess of £300,000. Mathematical beginnings… Lewis Carroll was born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson in January 1832. He graduated from Christ Church, Oxford in 1854 with a BA Honours in Mathematics and Classics. Elected to a life fellowship, he continued to lecture at Oxford and publish mathematical broadsheets to help his students. It was during this time that he created his famous pseudonym by taking “Charles” and “Lutwidge”, and inverting the latinised form to create “Lewis Carroll”.

Whelan, 1 Veronica Whelan English 295 Professor Burton 30 March 2016 Sylvie and Bruno and the Loss of Innocence Sylvie and Bruno, written by Lewis Carroll, is a novel that dismally few people have heard about. It was written in the year 1889, and was considered by Carroll to be something of a break away from his earlier works (and among these earlier works are included such classics as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and The Hunting of the Snark). Sadly, while these earlier works take the spotlight, for lack of a better phrase, Sylvie and Bruno and its sequel, Sylvie and Bruno Concluded have remained relatively untouched by critics' hands. This novel, however, is something to look at. Within this novel, Carroll has combined both the whimsical (and at times almost disturbing) nonsense which he is known for, and something entirely different--a very obvious, very intentional meaning.

  • Lewis Carroll - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Lewis Carroll - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Lewis Carroll(27 January 1832 – 14 January 1898) Charles Lutwidge Dodgson better known by the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, was an English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and photographer. His most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, as well as the poems "The Hunting of the Snark" and "Jabberwocky", all examples of the genre of literary nonsense. He is noted for his facility at word play, logic, and fantasy, and there are societies dedicated to the enjoyment and promotion of his works and the investigation of his life in many parts of the world, including the United Kingdom, Japan, the United States, and New Zealand. Antecedents Dodgson's family was predominantly northern English, with Irish connections. Conservative and High Church Anglican, most of Dodgson's ancestors were army officers or Church of England clergymen. His great-grandfather, also Charles Dodgson, had risen through the ranks of the church to become Bishop of Elphin. His grandfather, another Charles, had been an army captain, killed in action in Ireland in 1803, when his two sons were hardly more than babies. His mother's name was Frances Jane Lutwidge. The elder of these sons – yet another Charles Dodgson – was Carroll's father. He reverted to the other family tradition and took holy orders. He went to Westminster School, and thence to Christ Church, Oxford. He was mathematically gifted and won a double first degree, which could have been the prelude to a brilliant academic career.
