> Dodgson’s original paper from 1867 is quite readable, surprisingly so given that math notation and terminology changes over time.
Given that Jabberwocky is also quite readable, we shouldn't be too astonished.

The conventions of literature have changed a lot less than math notation and terminology have since 1867.
I think in this case "readable" means "comprehensive", which maybe doesn't apply quite as much to Jabberwocky (albeit by design).
