The Hunting of the Snark, an Agony, in Eight Fits (Annotated) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798669477899)

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The Hunting of the Snark, An Agony, in Eight Fits by Lewis Carroll.This book contains a historical context, where past events or the study and narration of these events are examined. The historical context refers to the circumstances and incidents surrounding an event. This context is formed by everything that, in some way, influences the event when it happens. A fact is always tied to its time: that is, to its time. Therefore, when analyzing events that took place tens, hundreds or thousands of years ago, it is essential to know the historical context to understand them. Otherwise, we would be analyzing and judging what happened in a totally different era with a current perspective.An Agony in Eight Fits, meaningless poem by Lewis Carroll, first published in 1876. The fantastic eight-song poem depicts the sea voyage of a buttons, boots (boots black), hood maker, lawyer, racer, marker billiards, banker, beaver, baker and butcher and his search for the elusive and indefinite growl. A dedicatory poem that Carroll attached to the play contained an acrostic in the name of his then favorite friend, Gertrude Chataway, whose name is also found in the first words of each stanza of the poem: Girt, Rude, Chat, Away. While scholars have attributed hidden meanings to work from political subversion to existential agony, Carroll argued that his intention was simply nonsense.
