Alice Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass

Alice Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass

In 1862 Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a shy Oxford mathematician with a stammer, created a story about a little girl tumbling down a rabbit hole. Thus began the immortal adventures of Alice, perhaps the most popular heroine in English literature. Countless scholars have tried to define the charm of the Alice booksâ€“with those wonderfully eccentric characters the Queen of Hearts, Tweedledum, and Tweedledee, the Cheshire Cat, Mock Turtle, the Mad Hatter et al.â€“by proclaiming that they really comprise a satire on language, a political allegory, a parody of Victorian childrenâ€™s literature, even a reflection of contemporary ecclesiastical history. Perhaps, as Dodgson might have said, Alice is no more than a dream, a fairy tale about the trials and tribulations of growing upâ€“or down, or all turned roundâ€“as seen through the expert eyes of a child.
