Bibliography


Wondering Where I Get My Wonderland Wisdom?

Alice in Wonderland research can be a rabbit hole in itself. There are countless useful essays, books and articles analyzing the Alice books in terms of philosophy, psychology, Victorian society and the genre of nonsense. There are also countless useless essays, books and articles. Not to mention all the biographies on Alice’s creator, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson AKA Lewis Carroll.

The volumes I have employed the most often are below. If a book is available for free online, I included a link to that resource. If a book is not available for free online, I included a link to its listing on Amazon. If you are doing some Alice in Wonderland research of your own, don’t forget your local library of course!

I will keep adding to this list as I research further. Rest assured, the useless essays, books and articles will not be included!
