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 the Looking-Glass galleys, but which fits into the story in interesting ways. Each {ext 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 Edi- tion while adding four important recent essays by Nina Auer- bach, Roger Henkle, Robert Polhemus, and Donald Rackin.
The Selected Bibliography has been thoroughly revised and updated.
