nonsense 15
Literary genre appeared in England during the nineteenth century, perhaps from the limericks of Edward Lear. Its main feature is absurdity, lack of logical, or semantic, or simply the use of words invented by its metric or melody for the case. An example of a nonsense novel is found in the works of Lewis Carroll where Alice enters worlds with her own logic, totally alien to which she (and the reader) are accustomed. The name comes from English and consists of the prefix non_ ( "no, without" ) sense .
