New to the Second Edition is "The Wasp in a Wig," a recently discovered episode Carroll deleted from Through the Looking-Glass, 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 recent editions of his diaries and letters.Our understanding of and appreciation for Carroll's life and literature are deepened by new contributions from Anne Clark, Tony Beale, E. M. Rowell, and, most revealingly, Carroll himself."Criticism" retains seven seminal critiques from the First Edition while adding four important recent essays by Nina Auerbach, Roger Henkle, Robert Polhemus, and Donald Rackin.A revised and updated Selected Bibliography is also included.… (plus d'informations)
waltzmn: Explaining the Alice books really requires more than one reference, and Gardner's edition includes far more fascinating details than the Norton edition, although it lacks the background essays found in the Norton collection.
waltzmn: The Norton edition of the Alice books contains many chapters of history and criticism -- but almost all of these have been rendered irrelevant by the publication of the (almost) unexpurgated edition of Dodgson's diaries. Cohen's is the fullest and probably the best biography published since then. All fans of the man behind the Alice books should have it.… (plus d'informations)
I love how adventurous, but at times nonsensical, the two books are. The characters and events are quite memorable, while the chess board in Through the Looking Glass makes one pay attention. ( )
This is a great edition, because it contains footnotes explaining all of Carroll's political and literary references. If you're trying to actually *understand* what Alice is all about, this is the version you want. ( )
Summary: A girl dozes off and dreams of chasing a rabbit into a tree where she falls down a hole into a world of fantasy. She meets up with many friends and also makes enemies. She eventually wakes up at the end to realize it was just a dream.
Review: A classic for the older children to enjoy. Some of the plot may be hard to follow but delightful for those that can keep up. A great book for comparison of book to movie in a classroom setting.
I've read this at least twice, once as a child and once in a children's literature class. I think as a child I found it a bit too scary and maybe that's why I don't recall reading it aloud to my own children. But, it's certainly an important part of our culture. ( )
This NCE contains Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, and The Hunting of the Snark. I was pleased with the footnotes, which were helpful in clarifying many of Carroll's jokes. The critical information included some interesting biographies/diaries of Dodgson (Carroll), as well as a few critical essays. I was disappointed in these because although they were mostly good, the editor clearly has some negative feelings about Dodgson's morals and included many unnecessary Freudian-finger-pointing passages. If I were younger or more impressionable, I'd have been left with a very negative view of Dodgson indeed! Because of these attempts at manipulating the readers' good opinions of Dodgson, I wish I had gotten The Annotated Alice instead. ( )

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?"

Lastly, she pictured to herself how this same little sister of hers would, in the after-time, be herself a grown woman; and how she would keep, through all her riper years, the simple and loving heart of her childhood; and how she would gather about her other little children, and make their eyes bright and eager with many a strange tale, perhaps even with the dream of Wonderland of long ago; and how she would feel with all their simple sorrows, and find a pleasure in all their simple joys, remembering her own child-life, and the happy summer days.
