'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
Robyn WilliamsHOST
Remember that? The Jabberwocky poem written by Charles Dodgson, professor of maths at Oxford, also known as Lewis Carroll, author of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.
Robyn WilliamsHOST
Just a reminder of why Oxford is so special.
Robyn WilliamsHOST
And so not a surprise that Dr. Catherine Blundell is bringing international languages to pupils to help them understand the cosmos.

speaker_1HOST
It really did.
speaker_1HOST
It's based on Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, and it featured a massive star-studded cast.
speaker_1HOST
You had Mia Wasikowska in a breakout role as Alice.
speaker_0HOST
She was great.
speaker_0HOST
He didn't stick around to run it.
speaker_1HOST
No, he didn't.
speaker_0HOST
When Disney green lit the sequel, Alice Through the Looking Glass, Burton completely stepped away from the director's chair.
speaker_0HOST
He only acted as a producer.
Alex FrancaHOST
But let's get into her first essay, Alice Collapsing.
Alex FrancaHOST
So this essay is about Sarah's time playing Alice in a major stage production of Through the Looking Glass.
Alex FrancaHOST
While suffering a fairly severe scoliosis diagnosis, she had a 36 degree curvature in her thoracic spine.
Alex FrancaHOST
She also experiences stage fright and a lack of parental figures.
Alex FrancaHOST
She sprinkles in a few quotes from Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass throughout this section, which I loved.
NadiaGUEST
She had such an interesting relationship with the books as a child.
NadiaGUEST
She didn't like hearing the stories, which I thought was so interesting.
James ThorneGUEST
But at the same point in time, we're not going to get a financial crisis.
James ThorneGUEST
I wrote a paper called Through the Looking Glass.
James ThorneGUEST
This is a classic example of what you said.
James ThorneGUEST
People are continuing using the old rules and the old examples from the old world.
Will ReitzHOST
I went down the rabbit hole because it comes from Lewis Carroll.
Will ReitzHOST
The Through the Looking Glass, the book where you get Alice in Wonderland.
Will ReitzHOST
Humpty Dumpty says to Alice, you see it's like a porchmanteau.
Will ReitzHOST
There are two meanings packed into one word.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
Humpty Dumpty in the book.
Will ReitzHOST
No, but there is in the book.
Will ReitzHOST
In the book Through the Looking Glass, Humpty Dumpty says this to Alice.
Will ReitzHOST
And so Lewis Carroll is the first one to coin the term portmanteau to describe two words shoved together, for instance, like stagflation.
Angelina StanfordHOST
And so I said, "But you like Lewis Carroll.
Angelina StanfordHOST
You liked Through the Looking Glass-
Addison HornstraGUEST
Mm
Angelina StanfordHOST
... and this book is kinda doing the same thing." And he said, "Yes, because Lewis Carroll is witty."
Chino RossHOST
You're wondering, how can this person teach what he has taught on the times of the Gentiles and be teaching this? You know, John, it reminds me, um, there is a famous quote ...
Chino RossHOST
This is a non-Christian, uh, background in writing completely, but you remember Lewis Carroll, who wrote those, um, those fascinating, uh, uh, children's novels about Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and then I think there was a subsequent look, um, Through the Looking Glass.
Chino RossHOST
Uh, that Through the Looking Glass, I'm just thinking about that right now in light of what I just said regarding Dr. Freeman's contradictory views about so many eschatological things.
Chino RossHOST
Through the Looking Glass introduced us to all these interesting characters like Humpty Dumpty, and the Rabbit, and, um, Twiddledy and Twiddledum.
Chino RossHOST
But there was another character called the, the White, uh, Queen, I think was her name.
Chino RossHOST
There was a Red Queen and the White Queen.
Andrew McGivernHOST
Lewis Carroll is actually a pen name of English writer, mathematician, and logician, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.
Andrew McGivernHOST
He is best known for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, which became classics of children's literature.
Andrew McGivernHOST
Lewis Carroll, or actually his character Alice, once said, it's no use going back to yesterday because I was a different person then.
Andrew McGivernHOST
This one is interesting.
Andrew ShawHOST
There's Lord Jagged, an enigmatic time traveller, the Iron Orchid, Geric's mother, and the Duke of Queens, a flamboyant host known for outlandish creations and fashion experiments.
Andrew ShawHOST
When I first read An Alien Heat, they reminded me of the sort of people you might find in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass.
Andrew ShawHOST
The trilogy consists of An Alien Heat, The Hollow Lands, and The End of All Songs.
Andrew ShawHOST
While I'm a great fan of the anti-hero Elric... who many consider Moorcock's finest creation, for me the Dancers at the End of Time trilogy is his best work.
