The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday - but never jam to-day. Lewis Carroll' s Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There was first published in December 1871 (dated 1872). Although Carroll intended Looking-Glass to be a follow-up piece to the immediately successful Alice' s Adventures in Wonderland (1865), he created an entirely new fantasy world with a revised narrative structure. The twelve-chapter format was retained, but Looking-Glass is significantly longer than Wonderland (224 compared to 192 pages in the first editions), and introduces a range of new characters, and is framed by Alice' s progression across a chessboard to become queen. This new edition focuses solely on Through the Looking-Glass, with a penetrating and informative introduction by Zoe Jaques, including the most recent research and critical opinion on the subject matter.
Zoe Jaques is Senior Lecturer in Children' s Literature in the Faculty of Education, Cambridge University and Dean of Homerton College. She has co-authored the 100,000-word Lewis Carroll' s Alice' s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass: A Publishing History (Routledge, 2013) and written substantially about these books in her Children' s Literature and the Posthuman (Routledge, 2015). She runs an AHRC network on children' s literaturein US and UK archives and is co-general editor of the forthcoming Cambridge History of Children' s Literature in three volumes (Cambridge University Press, 2022).
