Hello,
I am new to this forum and to literature (as an academic study). I am currently a grad student in the sciences, however, I've recently struck an intrest in the Carroll Alice books. I'm mostly intrested in pursuing as a hobby, some research into the meta-theory presented in the books.
I've stumbled on some old monographs about Nonsense and about the books themselves, I know of the following thus far:
Aspects of Alice, by Robert Phillips
Philosophy Through the Looking Glass, Jean-Jacque Lecarles
The Field of Nonsens , Elizabeth Sewell
And I know of
Seimotics and Lingusitics in Alice' World, as a more recent research monograph.
Again this is a hobby, but I am very much into deep research and reading very abstract things, hence, I am not afraid of getting my hands dirty.
If anyone can point me out to the right direction. I am trying to find facaulty across the United States that may be doing current reserach (or perhaps have done so in the past, and or specialize in Carroll literature), and I'm looking for any journals that may have published or currently do publish academic analysis and articles of this piece of literature.
I am totally lost as to where to start. Also if anyone can give me fundaemntal books I hsould read to begin serious literary reserarch (perhaps guides or handbooks) I would also appreciate that as well.
Thanks again!
