Alice in Wonderland is probably the most well-known work of Victorian literature. And, knowing the Victorians as being rapt for the morbs and the weirds, it is no wonder that this book is as fantastical and as unbelievably curious as the era itself. A true sign of the times! Lewis Carroll’s 1865 novel shaped and influenced our own pop culture in many, many ways, and it is one of the very few books that hasn’t gone out of print since the day it was first published.
