"Made me nearly fall off a chair laughing...Gillian Beer's lovingly, meticulously edited collection - the first ever - of Lewis Carroll's 'uproariously dissident' verse, leaves me seriously happy every time I open it."
–Ali Smith,
Times Literary Supplement Books of the Year
"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
–Michael Caines,
Times Literary Supplement This is an elegant volume, likely to delight enthusiasts, while introducing Lewis Carroll's poetry to a younger readership. The poems are set out chronologically following a generous, thoughtful introduction from the esteemed Cambridge critic Gillian Beer...
