Talk:Looking-Glass world

Is 'Looking-Glass Land' a misnomer?
Carroll does not ever refer to the place Alice visits in Through the Looking-glass as 'Looking-Glass Land' The only reference to the name of the location comes in a poem in Chapter 9

`To the Looking-Glass world it was Alice that said, "I've a sceptre in hand, I've a crown on my head; Let the Looking-Glass creatures, whatever they be, Come and dine with the Red Queen, the White Queen, and me."'

So would 'Looking-Glass World' be more accurate? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.222.49.116 (talk) 10:52, 17 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Good to see that I'm not the only one to have noticed this infelicity. Googling shows that 'Looking-glass land' is the name of an adaptation, but Carroll himself only uses 'world', in my recollection. Since there have been no objections I'll move it to Looking-glass world. I thought perhaps it should be deleted, but there is an article on Wonderland (fictional country) that it complements.

 * Well, I've copyedited it, but the concept still seems non-Carrollian, and I wouldn't mind if it were deleted. Rothorpe (talk) 20:11, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

This is already covered in Through the Looking Glass. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gjjixzho (talk • contribs) 12:35, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
