Oxford World's Classics: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass
The 'Alice' books are two of the most translated, most quoted, and best-known books in the world. Marketed as delightful, innocent fantasies for children, they are also complex textures of mathematical, linguistic, and philosophical jokes.
Layers of satire, allusion, and symbolism about Victorian culture and politics, as well as revelations about the intricate subconscious problems of their author, add to their fascination and make them impossible to classify, but one thing is for sure: these adventures have been, and will be, loved for generations.
This Oxford World Classics Edition includes an introduction, textual notes, a bibliography, chronology, explanatory notes, and more.
