Text of the Poem. ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves. Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. “Beware the Jabberwock, my son! 5. The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun. The frumious Bandersnatch!”.

great deal of attention has been devoted over the past century or more to Lewis Carroll's perplexingly worded poem "Jabberwocky," from Chapter 1 of his second Alice book: Through the Looking Glass of 1872 (hereafter referred to as TTLG). Alongside the textual thrall, fans of Victorian illustration have similarly enthused over the resplendent full-p...
The word-coinages scattered plentifully throughout this famous heroic nonsense poem are mostly readily categorised: many as literary portmanteau words, each essentially from two formative parts; those of the difficult opening stanza and repeated at the closing stanza, as Old English, with which Carroll had some familiarity; more recently, some as p...
As this poem is to some extent connected with the lay of the Jabberwock, let me take this opportunity of answering a question that has often been asked me, how to pronounce "slithy toves." The "i" in "slithy" is long, as in "writhe"; and "toves" is pronounced so as to rhyme with "groves." Again, the first "o" in "borogoves" is pronounced like the "...
Anne Vansweevelt's 2005 version of the Jabberwocky. In a letter of 18th December 1877 to his then some twenty-years-old child-friend Maud Standen, Carroll clarified the term "uffish" of verse 4, and also repeated to her the above explanation for his original word-formation (Cohen, ed., 1995). However, he also confessed to having no such success in ...
With the present integral-phrasal approach, searches for key starter-words become easier and more fruitful, as all may be found in the same or similar sources. Particular attention is drawn to popular Victorian Period words from the increasing cultural-linguistic penetration by Anglo-Indian sources, from the then still distant, mysterious and polit...
1. "frabjous": - original stanza 6. Adjectival use to denote a special day, such as the Hindi Durbar excitement, transposed to the defeat of the Jabberwock. The rare English root "frab", OED dialect verb "to worry," is clearly contradictory to the overall requirement for a triumphant crescendo to the Carrollian poem. Recommended here, therefore, ar...
