![]() ![]() While not as lighthearted as Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking-Glass nevertheless occupies the sanic silly, nonsensical world as its predecessor. While nonsense proves to be the bread-and- butter of Lewis Carroll’s writing style, it is not without purpose the narrative structuring of the chess game and Alice’s pursuit of queenhood, coupled with the exchanges with the various characters, fall in line with a classic coming of age tale, and present Alice as a figure within a Bildungsroman. Lewis Carroll’s sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865), titled Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871), takes the beloved Alice into a new world featuring a live game of chess, a few bizarre characters, and a repetition of classic nursery rhymes. Alice again enters a fantastical world, this time by climbing through a mirror into the world that she can see beyond it. Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (also known as Alice Through the Looking-Glass or simply Through the Looking-Glass) is a novel published on 27 December 1871 by Lewis Carroll and the sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. ![]() ![]() Through The Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll ![]()
