This textual commentary looks at how The Hunting of the Snark is structured, and comments on the poetic elements.

Selwyn Goodacre has a large Lewis Carroll collection includ-ing over 2000 copies of the Alice books. He is a past chair-man of the Lewis Carroll Society, and edited the Society journal from 1974-1997. For years he has pursued a special interest in the text of the Alice books, which has led to his current com-mentary on, and analysis of, the way they were written.
