About This Ebook

The book consists of several independent yet interconnected poems, with “Phantasmagoria” being the most representative long poem. It narrates the story of a young man who experiences various bizarre visions in his dreams and eventually finds inner peace. The entire work is rich in symbolic meanings; for instance, dreams may represent unsolvable problems or hidden desires in real life. Additionally, the book includes several other short poems of varying styles, reflecting the ideological trends and personal emotional experiences under the socio-cultural background of the late 19th century. Carroll, with his unique sense of humor and imagination, has made bold innovations within the framework of traditional poetry, making this work a treasure in the literary repository of the Victorian era.
