The Westminster Alice
About this book
The Westminster Alice by Saki, the pen name of H. H. Munro, is a witty political satire inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice stories. In a series of short pieces, Alice moves through a strange version of British political life populated by recognizable public figures, exaggerated personalities, and absurd situations. Saki uses parody, irony, and playful fantasy to comment on parliamentary politics, government, imperial affairs, and the public debates of his time. The familiar Wonderland style allows him to expose contradictions and political absurdities with sharp humor. The collection offers both an entertaining literary parody and a revealing glimpse into early twentieth-century British political culture.
