Alice in a World of Wonderlands: The English-Language Editions of the Four Alice Books Published Worldwide is a two-volume set; this is Volume 1 (Essays and Illustrations). Volume 2 (Checklists and Appendices) is available separately. This is a companion to the 2015 three-volume Alice in a World of Wonderlands: Translations of Lewis Carroll's Masterpiece. Jon A. Lindseth and Arnold Hirshon edited these volumes that explore the legacy of the four Alice books: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking-Glass, Alice's Adventures under Ground, and The Nursery "Alice." Volume 1 contains essays by distinguished scholars about both the publishing history of the four books (by Francine F. Abeles, Mark Burstein, George Cassady, Morton N. Cohen, Martin Gardner, Selwyn Goodacre, Edward Guiliano, August A. Imholtz, Jr., Stephanie Lovett, Heather Simmons, and Daniel Rover Singer) and about the history of their many illustrated editions (by Mark Burstein, George Cassady, Michael Everson, and Arnold Hirshon). Volume 2, available separately, contains ten checklists of the four books documenting the chronological and geographic history of their publication in the United Kingdom, the United States, other English-language countries (Australia, Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand), and 29 countries in the rest of the world. This volume also contains short discussions about publication and illustration trends since the first published edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in 1865, as well as publisher and illustrator indexes to all of the checklist entries.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is an 1865 English children's novel by Lewis Carroll, a mathematics don at the University of Oxford. It details the story of a girl named Alice who falls through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world of anthropomorphic creatures. It is seen as an example of the literary nonsense genre. The artist John Tenniel provided 42 wood-engraved illustrations for the book.It received positive reviews upon release and is now one of the best-known works of Victorian literature; its narrative, structure, characters and imagery have had a widespread influence on popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre. It is credited as helping end an era of didacticism in children's literature, inaugurating an era in which writing for children aimed to "delight or entertain". The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children. The titular character Alice shares her name with Alice Liddell, a girl Carroll knewscholars disagree about the extent to which the character was based upon her.

From a "comic strip" papyrus dating from Egypt's New Kingdom to the works of Stein, Joyce, and Barth, "nonsense" texts reveal a set of possibilities as rich and complex as the more conventional system of "making sense" from which they are derived. Examining palindromes, children's rhymes, puns, anagrams, code languages, and other texts, Susan Stewart explores the labyrinthine relationships between common sense and nonsense—and presents an original contribution to the fields of folklore, literary theory, anthropology, and sociology by analyzing nonsense within an expansive context of the social manufacture of order and disorder.
