Carolyn SiglerSigler, Carolyn, ed. ''Alternative Alices: Visions and Revisions of Lewis Carroll's "Alice" Books.'' Lexington, KY, University Press of Kentucky, 1997. has shown that Carroll's two great fantasies inspired dozens of imitations, responses, and parodies during the remainder of the nineteenth century and the first part of the twentieth — so many that Carroll at one point began his own collection of ''Alice'' imitations. In 1887, one critic suggested that Carroll had plagiarized Tom Hood's ''From Nowhere to the North Pole'' (1875) when writing ''Alice'' — though the relationship was just the reverse: Hood's novel was one of the many ''Alice'' imitations.Sigler, p. 206.
The primary wave of ''Alice''-inspired works slackened after about 1920, though Carroll's influence on other writers has never fully waned; it can be seen in recent books like Maeve Kelly's ''Alice in Thunderland'' (1993) and Alison Haben's ''Dreamhouse'' (1995).
Numerous works have borrowed the characters and incidents of the Alice books to illustrate "altered State" Experiences brought about by Psychedelic Drug s. Other works focus on the prepubescent eroticism or " Lolita Complex " subtly evident in the main text. In addition, Wonderland's bizarre, completely illogical setting has inspired darker works about a loss of the ability to distinguish between fantasy and reality.
Perhaps because of the contents of his books, it is often said that Lewis Carroll was an Opium addict. However, there is no evidence for this -- see the Article on him for details. On the other hand, his fascination with little girls, to the point of photographing them nude, is very well documented. In his diary entries, he expressed interest in surreality, the subconscious, and the borders between sanity and insanity.
The name of the neurological condition Alice In Wonderland Syndrome , in which objects are perceived to be substantially larger or smaller than in actuality, is derived from passages in the book.
One of Carl Jung 's favourite quotes on Synchronicity was from ''Through the Looking-Glass'', where the White Queen says to Alice: "It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards".''Through the Looking-Glass'', Ch. 5, Wool and Water. 'It's very good jam,' said the Queen.
'Well, I don't want any TO-DAY, at any rate.'
'You couldn't have it if you DID want it,' the Queen said.
'The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday--but never jam
to-day.'
'It MUST come sometimes to "jam to-day,"' Alice objected.
'No, it can't,' said the Queen. 'It's jam every OTHER day: to-day isn't any OTHER day, you know.'
'I don't understand you,' said Alice. 'It's dreadfully confusing!'
'That's the effect of living backwards,' the Queen said kindly: 'it always makes one a little giddy at first--'
'Living backwards!' Alice repeated in great astonishment. 'Inever heard of such a thing!'
'--but there's one great advantage in it, that one's memory works both ways.'
'I'm sure MINE only works one way,' Alice remarked. 'I can't remember things before they happen.'
'It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards,' the Queen remarked.
- '' Finnegans Wake '' by James Joyce is famously influenced by ''Alice''. The novel is about a dream, and includes such lines as: "Alicious, twinstreams twinestraines, through alluring glass or alas in jumboland?" and "...Wonderlawn's lost us for ever. Alis, alas, she broke the glass! Liddell lokker through the leafery, ours is mistery of pain."
- '' Paradox in Oz '', by Edward Einhorn , is a sequel to the Oz books that is also heavily influenced by the Alice books. It is filled with logic puzzles reminiscent of the books, and begins with an allusion to the White Knight's poem about an aged, aged man.

- British writer Jeff Noon has inserted many Carrollian allusions into a series of Cyberpunk novels, beginning with '' Vurt '' (1993), that are set in a fantasy-future Manchester . In the books, Noon applies a logical extension of the Wonderland and Looking-Glass World concepts into a Virtual Reality cyberverse that characters occasionally get lost in. One possible interpretation of the books is that everything happens in the dream of Alice, akin to the supposed "dream of the Red King" in '' Through The Looking-Glass ''. Noon also wrote '' Automated Alice '', which he punningly calls a trequel to the Alice books. In this illustrated novella, Alice enters a grandfather clock and emerges in future Manchester, which has many bizarre denizens including an invisible cat named Quark and Celia, the Automated Alice.
