I just finished Alan Moore & Kevin O’Neill’s League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. II, and now I’m reading parts of the Traveler’s Almanac in the back.
The problem is, I haven’t read enough Wells and Verne and other period literature to know what they’re always going on about. Maybe some folks here could help out?
So far I’ve read Chapter One:
[ul]Some obvious references to Arthurian legend & ruins in Cornwall[/ul]
[ul]In Oxford, “Miss A. L.” is a reference to Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass[/ul]
[ul]When they mention the Vril-ya and the word for evil “nania” and the misspelling “Narnia,” they’re talking about C. S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe[/ul]
[ul]The “Prospero, Duke of Milan” is from The Tempest[/ul]
Jee, pretty pitiful, huh? Did anyone recognize stories I missed?
