Behind the Looking Glass

"Behind the Looking Glass" (ISBN 978-1847184863) [http://www.lewiscarrollmyth.com] (Newcastle upon Tyne, UK: Cambridge Scholars Publishing), by Sherry L. Ackerman [http://www.sherryackerman.com] , addresses the contemporary deconstruction of the Carroll Myth [http://carrollmyth.com/] . The book offers an examination of the nineteenth century Neoplatonic Revival in Great Britain. ["In all of the recent investigation of the Carroll Myth, one area that has been significantly under-represented is Carroll's place in the philosophical traditions of his day. "Behind the Looking Glass" is perhaps the first attempt at correcting that omission"; Karoline Leach, author of "In the Shadow of the Dreamchild". ] , with special emphasis upon its influence on the writings of Lewis Carroll. Conciliatory points between revived Neoplatonism, theosophy and spiritualism are identified. [ "I do not know of any author who has attempted to present this most familiar work ("Alice in Wonderland") as a Platonic allegory"; Jay Bregman, Professor of History and Coordinator of Religious Studies, University of Maine.]
