This is the 150th anniversary of the publication of Alice and I’d like to move forward with the project. To do that, I’d like to ask if anyone would like to volunteer to work with me. 

The goal is to experiment slightly, producing an Alice with “Victorian” typographic principles. Proper names will be written with capital letters. Stressed vowels (rare in that text) will have the acute accent. Guillemets will go along with particles to indicate citation. Full stops will be moved from the beginning of sentences (marked with capital letters) to the end. 

I need someone to help me deal with questions concerning nested quotation, and narrative structure where the narrator interjects into a quotation. The particle “sei" starts a metalinguistic discourse; what ends one?
