Interest in the Alice stories compels interest in the man Lewis Carroll-Charles Dodgson, and so the editor of this Norton Critical Edition has woven together, in the Backgrounds section, accounts of the early life and writings, of the writing of the Alice books, and of the later life. Represented here are entries from Dodgson's diaries, selections from early poems and from "Alice's Adventures Under Cround," reminiscences, and other biographical sources.
The Essays in Criticism have been chosen to exemplify the several frames in which Alice has been studied. The essays consider the texts as nineteenth-century children's literature; as manifestations of characteristic Victorian sensibilities; as a game using ideas about language, about philosophy, about mathematics; and as a basis for psychoanalytic investigation.
