Sommario/riassunto

The nonsensical poem The Hunting of the Snark (An Agony in Eight Fits) was written by Lewis Carroll in 1874 and published in 1876. Describing ""with infinite humor the impossible voyage of an improbable crew to find an inconceivable creature"", the work borrows in-part from Carroll's Jabberwocky in Through the Looking-Glass .
