This Norton Critical Edition again reprints the 1897 editions of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass" and the 1876 edition of "The Hunting of the Snark". New to the Second Edition is "The Wasp in a Wig," a recently discovered episode that Carroll deleted from the "Through lhe Looking-Glass" galleys, but which fits into the story in interesting ways. Each text is accompanied by ample explanatory notes.
"Backgrounds" reprints new selections from recent biographies of Carroll and from new editions of his diaries and letters. Our understanding of and appreciation for Carroll's life and literature are deepened in new contributions by Anne Clark, Tony Beale, E. M. Rowell, and, most revealingly, Carroll himself.
"Criticism" retains seven seminal essays from the First Editions while adding four important recent essays by Nina Auerbach, Roger Henkle, Robert Polhemus, and Donald Rackin.
The Selected Bibliography has been thoroughly revised and updated.
