The Hunting of the Snark (Annotated)

The Hunting of the Snark (An Agony in 8 Fits) is typically categorized as a nonsense poem composed by Lewis Carroll, the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. Written from 1874 to 1876, the poem borrows the setting, some creatures, and eight portmanteau words from Carroll's earlier poem "Jabberwocky" in his children's novel Through the Looking Glass (1871).
