Description

The Alice Books and the Contested Ground of the Natural World argues that Lewis Carroll used the book's charm, wit and often puzzling conclusions to counter the emerging tendencies of the time that favored Darwinism and theories of evolution and challenged the then conventional thinking of the relationship between mankind and nature. Though a scientist and ardent student of nature himself, Carroll used his famously playful language, fantastic worlds and brilliant, often impossible characters to support more the traditional, Christian ideology of the time in which mankind holds absolute sovereignty over animals and nature.
