Lots of music is also inspired by Carroll’s books: Jefferson Airplane White Rabbit https://t.co/bqAz8TbCcc , Bob Dylan’s “Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee;” Stevie Nicks, “Alice;” Taylor Swift, “Wonderland;” Beatles’ “I am the Walrus”...... can you think of any more? #engl519

When the chorus on the train exclaim: “the man that drives the engine. Why, the smoke alone is worth a thousand pounds a puff!” It is as though Carroll is warning the reader that those who know and make the rules are in charge (138). #engl519

“I’ve heard nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary!” (Carroll 133) The Red Queen must be an English major #engl519

If you are a fan of Monty Python you should check out the movie Jabberwocky (1977) https://t.co/z9HcYeYhuU I wonder how many Alice allusions are present..... probably not many.... #eng519

[Máté Mac @MateM_ac]

Reading Alice amongst other heavy books and topics is very comforting. #engl519

“The great utitily of hot baths,” now that’s a mantra I can live by! (Beeton ch 41) #ENGL519

“The arteries like innumerable bees are everywhere laying down layers of muscle, bones, teeth” (ch 41) interesting image there.... #engl519 #beeton

The human body is like a watch! #engl519

Here is the stewed eels recipe you’ve all been dying to taste! #engl519

5lbs of beef and 3 strips of bacon seems a bit gratuitous for an asparagus soup.... #engl519

Working in a scullery doesn’t seem too bad! Right? #engl519

Mrs. Beeton, still helping people be “proper.” Found in Canadian Sharon Pollock’s play Blood Relations that is about the American axe murderer Lizzie Borden. #engl519 #beetonsavestheworld

Being a household managing mistress sounds so tiring both physically and mentally.... #engl519 #beeton

@AnLane1232001 Reminds me of Shakespeare’s sonnet 73!!!

[Máté Mac @MateM_ac]

In Memorium has a cute ending! “Love is and was my Lord and King” (CXXVI) #engl519

[Máté Mac @MateM_ac]

The places that Tennyson and Hallam enjoyed together bring floods of memory and affect to the poet! I think it’s beautiful. #engl519

[Máté Mac @MateM_ac]

The “In Memoriam Stanza” form is smooooooth #engl519

[Máté Mac @MateM_ac]

Echoes of Keats’ “Ode on Melancholy” haunt my reading of “In Memoriam” #engl519

[Máté Mac @MateM_ac]

Love love love the allegorization in “In Memoriam.” Death, Poetry, Nature, Fortune, Love, Sorrow, Life, Science, Time, and beyond all seem to have their say. Reminds me of Anna Laetitia Barbauld and other romantic poets who preceded Tennyson. #engl519

[Máté Mac @MateM_ac]

It is interesting how many canonical English poets use the conceit of the sea as a metaphor for human emotion and feeling. I guess it makes sense though as everyone ebbs and flows through life..... #engl519
