Lewis Carroll’s “Jabberwocky” stands as the most famous nonsense poem of all time. Frequently seen as untranslatable, it has nevertheless (or for that very reason) become a touchstone of translation. Yet, although there are several language specific studies of “Jabberwocky” in translation, a broader comparative approach has not been attempted before. This short chapter gives insights into Bury's translation of "Jabberwocky", compares some of the choices made with choices made by other translators of the poem into French and argues that Bury's translated poem is a metalinguistic poem, much like the original version of the poem.
