Dear list members, I have started a blog publishing for the first time the full text of the diaries of Edward Lear -- artist, traveller and of course Nonsense...
Does anyone know why Carroll took a lease on a house at 6 Brewer Street, Oxford, in 1890? Jenny Read my Lewis Carroll blog! www.jabberwock.co.uk/blog ...
Wouldn't that have been very near the Sayers? I have never heard about Carroll leasing a house....it is intriguing. Did this info come from his ledger? ...
Jenny's query about the Brewer Street lease is intriguing - I don't know the answer but one or two possibilities offer themselves. Brewer Street is just across...
Interesting,Joe. The letter, dated 28 2 1890 to Edith, says: "You see one is so cramped in one's tiny College rooms, but, by having a house in Brewer Street AS...
MM and LC are a weord combo I should imagine....since I dig both, I'd love to read this! "When the going gets tuff, the tuff get going!" ... From: jenny2write...
The publication date for the paperback edition of 'In the Shadow of the Dreamchild' has now been fixed for 30 October. The new edition has been considerably...
Mike, you are bound to get a 'polarised response' if the basic ideas are still the same. An affair that was not proven by any 'facts' that stood up to...
Jenny, While I agree with you that the theory of CLD's affair with Mrs Liddell was not well supported in the 'Dreamchild' book, I wouldn't say it was the *main...
No, this not the main theme because it never was. The main theme, as in the first edition, is the vast gulf between the popular image of CLD and the...
It seemed to be the main theme in the newspaper publicity at the time, but actually yes, I guess it wasn't the main theme of the book. But that is one of the...
Hi Jenny, This is just the impression I get, but Mr Dodgon's letter that you quote sounds like a response to something Edith has asked, possibly along the same...
I agree the letter is ironic in tone. I can hardly imagine he wanted to live over a pawnbroker's if he left Ch Ch! so I agree it wasn't somewhere for him to...
In his syllogisms, why did Carroll not assign certain letters to his premises? For instance, in his Amos Judd problem, the eight symbols are labelled a, b, c,...
The Fall meeting of the Lewis Carroll Society of North America will be held on October 25th in New York City. An excellent program is planned. The meeting is...
Hi, That's a good question. But I see no significant explanation. At least nothing of importance. According to the second part of Symbolic Logic published in...
Carroll asked the artist Thomas Heaphy to paint for him a copy of the the fainting child who was resting on General Fairfax's knee in a picture which Heaphy...
I notice that Ami's list includes the five letters in the alphabet whose tails are drawn 'below the line' (g,j,p,q,y). Avoiding these letters allows lines...
There seem to be an abundance of cinematic interpretations of the Alice books, including a couple in the works. Is this all public domain, or is there some...
Thank you both for your input. The theories make sense, and I am glad to know that I was not just overlooking an obvious explanation. I have decided to write...
Lucy, I can't imagine what an approved 'Alice' film would be like! Dire I'd guess if it had to be approved by anyone with an axe to grind! 'Alice' is out of...
Could I be enlightened on Manson's upcoming movie? Thank you. "When the going gets tuff, the tuff get going!" ... From: lillienchew <lillienchew@...> ...
Marilyn Manson's film Phantasmagoria is in production. From what I have heard, it is classified as a horror film. In it, Lewis Carroll (played by Manson...
