Any help on Academic studies of Carroll's "Alice" books

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!

Hi,

I may not be the right person to give you any advice since I'm not sort of a professional academician.
But I wrote an essay about Alice for a philosophy course years ago, and I still have some papers on the book and the author that may intrigue you.

They are:

• Lopez, Alan. "Deleuze with Carroll: Schizophrenia and Simulacrum and the Philosophy of Lewis Carroll's Nonsense." Angelaki:Journal of Theoretical Humanities.
• MacArthur, Fiona. "Embodied Figures of Speech: Problem-Solving in Alice's Dream of Wonderland." Atlantis.
• May, Leila S. "Wittgenstein's Reflection in Lewis Carroll's Looking-Glass." Philosophy and Literature.

Perhaps you have already checked those articles or their contents are not what you're looking for. But otherwise at least their bibliographies maybe a bit useful.
