I was very interested to find that Menella Dodgson commented negatively on a letter published in Florence Becker Lennon's Carroll biography. The date of...

Dear Sylvain, The page you found has the answer to a problem set earlier in the book. I suspect that the copyright holder (the Lewis Carroll Birthplace Trust)...
Ok. For the diaries I was not asking where they are (they have probably been destroyed) but how they disappeared. Thanks ... Ok. For the diaries I was not...

The diaries were used by Collingwood to write his book 'Life and Letters of Lewis Carroll' which was written in the house in Guildford, Chestnuts, where CLD...
Well the romantic me hopes that the missing diaries, and the missing pages that have caused so much controversy, will one day just "turn up" in a long...
Hi Keith....Ummmmm.....Let us not forget that Collingwood referred to all the diaries which CLD had been writing "since his tenth year", i.e. since he was nine...
Having read around a bit and settled in my own mind that Carroll was a Neoplatonist, I have just checked to see what he actually said himself about Plato in...
Jenny, I only mentioned the numbered diaries. I was aware he was said to have juvenile diaries but I've not seen anywhere where these have been shown to exist....
Keith, ... have juvenile diaries but I've not seen anywhere where these have been shown to exist. I'd love to see the first one from the age of ten when he was...
Hi Jenny, I love your question because it is EXACTLY what my new book, _Behind the Looking Glass_ (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, ISBN: 9781847184863) is...
Sherry, aren't there difficulties in the fact that translations of Plato vary according to the translator? Jowett was an odd ball even by the standards of his...
'Alice' - the story that is, is 146 years old today. Near Daresbury tommorrow, 5th July, one of our local farm shops is opening a 'Mad Hatter's Tea Room' if...
... In the Addams family, "Tish" is short for "Morticia"; I suppose this could refer to other names in -ticia. -- Michael Everson * http://www.evertype.com...
Well to my mind Louisa Fletcher might be a candidate...but that is just a guess really. I noticed the name "Hume" as a second name for both Caroline and ...
Jenny, 'Fraid thast's one thing Kate wouldn't have been able to help you with! She didn't really want Carroll to be a Neo-platonist as she was convinced...
Hi Pleasanceone, That's who I hae deduced to be the most likely candidate -gien the various childen's ages at the time of the letter - but like you, I can't...
Yes there was a connection between the Hume's and the Dodgson's. Lucy Hume was CLD's grandmother, she married Charles Dodgson who was killed in Ireland in...
John, I had decided who was the most likely but not having anything to prove it I thought it best to stay quiet! I could have said 'don't know' but if everyone...
John, it's not what we want CLD to be it is what he actually was - too many biographers start off with an idea and so ignore the evidence which say's they are...
Hi Keith, First Tennyson. Don't take my word for it! He was an avowed neo-Platonist (as was Hallam) it you want citations I can find them - but the easiest...
Hi All, I just have one question. Is saying "Carroll was NOT this or that" not partake of the same as saying "he WAS this or was that"? I say this because...
John, no I don't want citations - I go by my own research into Tennyson and besides which this isn't a Tennyson web site. I don't think Dodgson was anything in...
... killed in Ireland in 1803. She later on married George Marwood from Busby Hall in Yorkshire. CLD's uncle Hassard was called Hassard Hume Dodgson. ... ...
Keith, You very correctly point to the essential problem of re-contextualization. Philosophically, we would say the question is about being able to "separate"...
Well John, you and Kate could have laid your disagreement aside had you realized that, during the late 19th century, the Platonic Revival that took place in...
In a largely superficial way, Christina Rossetti's love poems resemble those of Arnold, Browning, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and even Dante Rossetti, as well...
