Behind the Looking Glass (ISBN:978-1847184863) [1](Newcastle upon Tyne, UK: Cambridge Scholars Publishing), by Sherry L. Ackerman [2], addresses the contemporary deconstruction of the Carroll Myth [3]. The book offers an examination of the nineteenth century Neoplatonic Revival in Great Britain.,[1] with special emphasis upon its influence on the writings of Lewis Carroll. Conciliatory points between revived Neoplatonism, theosophy and spiritualism are identified.[2][3] [4] [5][6] [7][8][9]
