Penguin Clothbound Classics’ edition of Lewis Carroll’s Jabberwocky and Other Nonsense: Collected Poems features poems from magazines, early verse, poems related to Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, works he composed for friends, as well as an appendix of “poems doubtfully attributed to Lewis Carroll.” The book also features an introduction from Gillian Beer that places the work of Carroll (real name Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) in its historical and literary context. Further, some of Carroll’s own illustrations appear between the sections. This edition will make a lovely companion volume to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass on the shelves of Lewis Carroll fans. ( ) Have read most of these before, except (I think) some of the early ones and some of the later ones. 'Jabberwocky' will always be my favourite but there are plenty of others that I enjoyed - most of my favourites are from the Alice stories - thanks to the Disney films. I enjoyed the acrostic poems - I remember writing those at school. The riddle poems were good as well though I had no hope of solving most of them. The notes at the end were useful to help understand the poems (and solve the riddles). geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
'Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!' Lewis Carroll wrote verse throughout his life, for fun and to give pleasure to his friends and family. This is the first collected and annotated edition of his poems, bringing to light a fresh array of his verses including childhood rhymes, favourites from the Alicebooks, parodies, satires, riddles, nonsense and later works such as Sylvie and Bruno. Imbued with high spirits, wit and sometimes sadness, these verses show Carroll's imagination at its most subversive. Edited with notes by Gillian Beer 'Opening at random Gillian Beer's new edition of Lewis Carroll's poems, Jabberwocky and Other Nonsense, guarantees a pleasurable experience - not all of it nonsensical.'
