This book offers a truly interdisciplinary exploration of the polymathic influences that shaped Through the Looking-Glass, the lesser explored sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. It explores the work's diverse historical intellectual influences as well as its kaleidoscopic afterlives, including scholars from the history of science, logic, philosophy, theology, literature, popular and visual culture, and translation studies as well as practitioners in business, data science, writing, and visual arts. The collection also offers insights into the minds of those who adapt, pastiche, or translate the Looking-Glass with an original poem, four new Jabberwockies, and an Italian translation of Looking-Glass's iconic poem. This collection thus encourages us to re-evaluate the intellectual scope and place in society of this work.
