As you suggest Keith, there is no good reason not to make a record of the cut pages. But why not - if you feel that you need an aide memoire - just keep the...
Joe, for the very reason we are in discussion. A cut page is instantly recognisable as such, especially a torn out numbered page, a shortened version in obtuse...
In Keith's newsletter was a reproduction of CLD's view of Whitby taken from his lodgings there. Just out of interest I found a modern photo taken from almost...
How interesting, Joe Soap! I have that biography and I never noticed this, although I did once notice that Lancelyn Green said something about CLD perhaps...
Jenny, Yes, CLD refers to the rumours about his relationship with Miss Prickett on 17 May 1857 and he later cross-referenced this entry with the missing entry...
Joe, I agree with you that Lancelyn Green has perhaps been treated unfairly - certainly with regard to his part in promulgating that part of the 'Carroll Myth'...
John, You are right of course. Although Green devotes a chapter of his short 1947 biography to S&B, deconstructing it and treating it seriously, he does not...
... they ... But what about the research that shows the two pages referred to in the 'cut pages' doc have been removed by a different method than the other...
... Quite right - I had forgotten that- so that suggests that the person who wrote the notes did snip those 2 pages out -the fact that one of the three pages...
Hello all, Just a quick note to inform you that I have written an article about the recent news on the Through the Looking-Glass chess problem on the chess...
Dear Jenny, Childhood diaries. I have not been able to find any evidence that the childhood diaries ever left Croft. Do you know more? Collingwood quotes a...
Collingwood mentioned the diaries in an interview he gave in 1898 about all the material he had to go through when writing the book. - "first there is a diary...
I think all this is covered in the article I mentioned earlier, but briefly: There are dozens more examples of Violet's handwriting in the archive at Woking,...
Hi Jenny! Shame on you! It is quite clear why you have filed your notes in such a folder, Clearly you have an unconscious image of Stuart Dodgson Collingwood...
John, there are enough myths and lies flowing about at the moment - do we need a Collingwood dosed up with opium as another myth!! My own opinion is that...
Oh I think, if he was writing for posterity, or anyone but himself, the diaries would be a lot more interesting! J ... Apart from his exhortations to his maker...
Perhaps the childhood diaries were different from the adult ones, and he decided to have a fresh start. diary- wise, with the ones we know. that could be why...
Joe, in general yes, but at times it hits you that whatever comment you are reading is aimed at a wider audience than himself. Keith ... From: oldjoesoap To:...
Jenny I suppose that you are quite confident that you know what Nella's question was - which Collinwood apparently answered with a lie? How did Collingwood...
... "I don't think I ever had the complete diary" is a misleading statement at very least, whatever Nella's question may have been - because he *did* have the...
... the ... That assumes an intent to entertain posterity. What if his intent was simply to avoid being too revealing of himself to anyone else who would read?...
Hi, I just wanted to draw you attention to this new Lewis Carroll publication. Robin Wilson, "Lewis Carroll in Numberland: His fantastical Mathematical Logical...
I've just received a copy of this and it looks very good - very accessible for non mathematicians and well written . ... publication. ... Mathematical...
Sorry to John and Sherry for my bad tempered comment - I have been finding it intensely frustrating trying to work my way through a lot of information on this...
All, where I was when Jenny's posting came through earlier on today was in Liverpool helping to set up a Lewis Carroll/Alice Exhibition. (Place was crowded for...
Jenny, (thought I'd already posted this but it doesn't seem to hae appeared). No wonfer you're confused. The answer is simple. Carroll did NOT ote with the...
I'm going to post this in both groups, Carrollania and Lewiscarroll. Does anyone have any idea what Mr. D Senior's views were on his adult children having...
