The Wasp in a Wig:
The publication of this volume put the Lewis Carroll Society of North America on the literary map. We received an enormous amount of
correspondence which sorely taxed our (pre-computer) secretary. It also caused our membership to grow large as if we had eaten from one side of the mushroom.

The Hunting of the Snark
The illustrations are pieces of a puzzle that when assembled reveal the Snark.
The Pamphlets of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson
Collected now for the first time, these writings shed light on many of the
intellectual and cultural enthusiasms of this eminent Victorian. Famed as a
writer, photographer, and logician, Dodgson was also a moral crusader and
diligent churchman who nourished a then-illicit passion for the theater.
The Pamphlets of Lewis Carroll, Vol. 1
This is the first volume in the series. It deals with Dodgson's writings dealing
with Oxford politics, Oxford asthetics, and the daily business of running the
Senior Common Room. Wakeling searched high and low to locate 66 items that fall
into the category chosen to be the first volume. Those who might think that this
volume is only for the serious scholar will be pleased to know that Carroll's
sense of humor is quite evident in these squibs, even on such dry topics as
professor's salaries and the installation of heating vents. This is a serious
work, and an important contribution to Carroll scholarship, but it is also
enjoyable to read.
The Pamphlets of Lewis Carroll, Vol. 2
This volume, the second of a planned series, concentrates on the work associated
with Dodgson's career as mathematical lecturer of Christ Church, Oxford. It was the first and only regular position he held and it
enabled him to pursue his
literary, photographic, logical and mathematical interests.
Most of the material collected here has not appeared since the author's
lifetime, and several pieces have never been recorded in the standard
bibliographical references of Dodgson's work. Many items reflect Dodgson's
duties to prepare students for the examinations that determined pass and honors
degrees. However, some are recent discoveries and they provide evidence that he
did important work that has not before been properly evaluated.
Appearing in chronological order by mathematical subject, each section is
preceded by an introductory essay providing background information to assist
both the general reader and the specialist. Several aspects of Dodgson's
personality as well as important events in the Victorian period that influenced his views and the mathematical topics he chose to write
about are discussed
in the general introduction.
