The Hunting of the Snark

rdfs:comment

In common with other Carroll works, the meaning of his poems has been queried and analysed in depth. One of the most comprehensive gatherings of information about the poem and its meaning is The Annotated Snark by Martin Gardner. "The Hunting of the Snark (An Agony in 8 Fits)" is a Narrative Poem by Lewis Carroll, telling the story of a group of unnamed adventurers as they search for the elusive Snark, a vaguely-described creature which lives on a remote island. The poem may be considered a Spiritual Successor to "Jabberwocky" from Through the Looking Glass, and contains several of the same creatures that are mentioned in "Jabberwocky". Worth noting is how the poem was constructed - the page quote is the last line, which was the first line that Carroll thought of. The rest of the poem was made to build up to it. The poem tells the story of a crew of ten, consisting of nine humans (whose titles all start with the letter B) and a Beaver, on a quest to find a mythical creature called the Snark. The hunt turns dangerous, for the inhospitable land is full of terrifying creatures – and there is also the possibility that they may find, instead of a common Snark, a deadly variety known as the Boojum. The Hunting of the Snark was a work by Lewis Carroll that Peri once used to help Erimem learn how to read the English language. She read it aloud as they travelled on top of the train from Siliguri to Darjeeling en route to a cricket match. (AUDIO: The Roof of the World)
