Reviews

Illuminates an often-ignored aspect of Alice's world. Jenny Woolf, author of The Mystery of Lewis Carroll and Lewis Carroll in his Own Account.


Illuminates an often-ignored aspect of Alice's world. - Jenny Woolf, author of The Mystery of Lewis Carroll and Lewis Carroll in his Own Account. Her conclusions are persuasive and valuable, and will allow many readers to return to the original texts in search of new meaning... The result is an enjoyable read for scholars of Victorian literature and science, and one that is especially vital for those interested in children's literature... White's study is an important reminder of the necessity of holding close the difference between a Victorian text's original situation and its ever-evolving afterlife. - Richard Fallon, University of Leicester in The British Society for Literatre and Science
