Between 1860 and 1897 Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, known to the ages as Lewis Carroll, produced over 180 booklets, leaflets, pamphlets, and instruction manuals. Varying radically in length and subject matter, they testify to Dodgson's unparalleled creativity and eclecticism.

The wasp in a wig: A "suppressed" episode of Through the looking glass and what Alice found there (Carroll studies)

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, "Lewis Carroll," was not only the author of the beloved Alice tales but an inveterate and talented creator of puzzles and games in both the recreational mathematics and wordplay fields. Collected together for the first time in this book, his charming and humorous creations are no longer hidden in obscure Victorian magazines, rare antiquarian books, and sporadic, incomplete collections.This fully annotated volume features such delights as Carroll’s word games Doublets (word ladders) and Syzygies (a more elaborate form of the word ladder), a board game called Lanrick, and other games and puzzles, including Circular Billiards, Castle Croquet, String Wrapped Round a Cube, Backgammon variations, Mirror Writing, Arithmetical Croquet, a Number Guessing Puzzle, and much more. The volume has been edited, annotated, and compiled by Christopher Morgan, who has added a section on modern-day puzzles inspired by Carroll, and features an introduction by Jeremiah Farrell. This is a fascinating and delightful collection for lovers of wordplay, puzzles, and the wit of Lewis Carroll.Distributed for the Lewis Carroll Society of North America

The final volume in the Pamphlets of Lewis Carroll series collects more than one hundred of his works on the Alice books, the theater, religion and morality, science and mathematics, photography, letters and postage, humor, stories, poetry, undergraduate papers, circular letters, and miscellaneous others. Each pamphlet is accompanied by editorial commentary placing it in its historical context and frequently quoting from contemporary responses to these works. This volume shows the remarkable variety of topics about which Carroll expressed himself in print. It includes many pieces never before reprinted and more than a dozen newly discovered. Many of these items have previously been available only in a few rare book libraries. Originals have been carefully examined and transcribed to provide definitive texts. The commentary provides a close look at how Lewis Carroll used his pen to interact with the world around him. The editorial notes reveal the provocations of his writing--what reactions his writing drew and how he engaged with others in print.

Biographies & Memoirs

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known to the world as Lewis Carroll, contributed to literature one of its most enduring achievements in the "Alice" books, but he was a versatile and intensely prolific author who published widely in a number of fields. This book is the first fully updated, authoritative bibliography of publications by Carroll during his lifetime (1832-1898) since the previous volume, published in 1979, and the latest in a scholarly project dating back to the first volume in 1924. It will prove essential for research libraries, rare book dealers, including auction houses, and book collectors generally, but especially Carroll and Victorian literature collectors.

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll): A Bibliography of Works Published in His Lifetime

Romance

Charles L. Dodgson’s publications on political subjects offer a very different view of Lewis Carroll, the man made famous by his "Alice" books. Better known for whimsical and nonsense writings, Dodgson wrote on the entire spectrum of voting theory, applying it to issues of local governance at Christ Church College in the University of Oxford, where he was employed all of his professional life―mainly as Mathematical Lecturer―and to issues of national politics. Yet this work remained largely unknown at his death.
This third volume of a planned series of six is a comprehensive account of Dodgson’s publications on voting theory. Francine F. Abeles offers a fresh perspective on his contributions to what was then an embryonic school of politics. Drawing together all of Dodgson’s pamphlets, letters, diary entries, and other pieces on this subject, Abeles traces the development of Dodgson’s theory of voting from its beginnings in his participation in the academic affairs of the University of Oxford to his attempts to influence the outcome of bills before the British Parliament affecting the extension of the voting franchise and the redistribution of seats in the House of Commons.
Collected together for the first time, these writings deal with such topics as ranking methods, voting anomalies, sophisticated voting, proportional representation, apportionment, and applications of game theory to voting strategies. Dodgson’s commitment to objectivity and fairness also led him to employ his methods in such sports applications as horse racing wagers and tennis tournament schedules.
Each chapter of this book is preceded by an introductory essay providing background information and analyses to assist both the general reader and the specialist. The Pamphlets of Lewis Carroll will be of interest to students and scholars of Carroll’s work, to political scientists, historians, and mathematicians, and to readers concerned with Victorian studies.
