Phantasmagoria And Other Poems, And Of The Hunting Of The Snark.
Mr. Frost's Pictures Are New.
"The Hunting of the Snark" was first published in 1876, eleven
years after "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and four years after
"Through the Looking-Glass." It is a masterpiece of nonsense and is
connected to "Through the Looking-Glass" by its use of vocabulary
from the poem "Jabberwocky." "The Hunting of the Snark" is a
strangely dark poem, and some critics believe that its
themes-insanity and death-are rather too adult in nature for
children's literature. We know, nonetheless, that Lewis Carroll
intended the poem to be enjoyed by children: he dedicated the book
in acrostic verse to his young friend Gertrude Chataway, and signed
some 80 presentation copies to other young readers. Many of those
inscriptions were in the form of an acrostic based upon the name of
the child to whom the book was presented. Part of the pleasure of
reading this book is in the inevitable musing about what it means.
Its author, often asked to explain his work, invariably replies
that he does not know. It is therefore open to readers of the poem
to decide the question for themselves...
