A. L. Taylor

The White Knight - A Study of Lewis Carroll

London: Oliver and Boyd, 1952.

First printing


A brilliant, early analysis for grown-ups of the apparent 'nonsense' in Alice, proving that it all meant something, sometimes as cruel parody of academic life in Oxford, sometimes just as mathematical riddles.


Taylor suggests that Carroll's infatuation with the real-life Alice Liddell, inspired him to entertain in ways that child would find amusing, but with reference to larger adult preoccupations.

Anyone who loves the books will be intrigued by what the author was really referring to.
