In the subsequent B.A.-thesis I will point out various factors which indicate that Carroll's Alice is not only a book for children, if not entirely meant for adults. The allusions to the author's own life as well as Victorian culture and especially Carroll's use of words and language for example require a preoccupation with these criteria which children generally would not show.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reichertz (English, McGill U., Canada) proposes that Lewis Carroll's Alice books make use of a literary tradition that includes two conventions: first, traditional kinds of children's literature, such as moral and informational didacticism, nursery rhymes, and fairy tales; and second, general literary motifs and forms, such as the world turned upside down, the looking-glass book, and the dream vision, that had been assimilated into children's literature. He explores the possible influences of particular works, and appends numerous selections from the works, many of which are reproduced in their original published form.

'Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat. 'We're all mad here.' The 'Alice' books are two of the most translated, most quoted, and best-known books in the world, but what exactly are they? Apparently delightful, innocent fantasies for children, they are also complex textures of mathematical, linguistic, and philosophical jokes. Alice's encounters with the White Rabbit, the Cheshire-Cat, the King and Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter, Tweedledum and Tweedledee and many other extraordinary characters have made them masterpieces of carefree nonsense, yet they also appeal to adults on a quite different level. Layers of satire, allusion, and symbolism about Victorian culture and politics, as well as revelations about the intricate subconscious problems of their author, add to their fascination and make them impossible to classify. This new edition explores the phenomenal range of reference, and the paradoxical appeal of two of the most inventive books in world literature. It also includes an episode removed by Carroll from the proofs of Through the Looking-Glass, called 'The Wasp in a Wig'. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Edition? includes a glossary and reader's notes to help the modern reader contend with Lewis Carroll's language, themes, and symbols. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, first published in 1865, is usually thought of as a simple fantasy tale for children, enjoyable for its fun and whimsy. Through the years, though, the book has grown to become one of the most popular novels in literature, both for children and adults. Deeper than mere fantasy, Alice is a text rich in symbolism, satire, and thematic levels of meaning. The rigid and often nonsensical society filled with odd situations, incomprehensible rules, and unforgettable characters that Carroll allows us to enter is one that readers will fondly remember for the rest of their lives.
