This special gathering marks the LCSNA’s 100th meeting\, making it an especially memorable occasion. Whether you’re a longtime member or newly curious\, join us for engaging presentations\, hands-on events\, and a joyful celebration of all things Carroll. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFULL CONFERENCE PROGRAM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n CONFERENCE TICKETS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeeting Venue.  The conference will be held at the Hanesbrands Theatre\, a premier black-box performance venue in downtown Winston-Salem\, NC\, operated by the Arts Council of Winston-Salem & Forsyth County. \n\n\n\n\nGetting to Winston-Salem\n\n\n\nThe most convenient airport for traveling to Winston-Salem is Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO) in Greensboro. It’s a small\, easy-to-navigate airport located just about 20 minutes from the recommended downtown hotels. \n\n\n\nIf you’re looking for more flight options or economical fares\, consider flying into either Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) or Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT). Both are major airports approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes away by car\, with straightforward access via major highways. \n\n\n\nOne helpful tip when driving into Winston-Salem from the east: be sure to take Salem Parkway (US-421) when it splits from I-40. This route leads directly into the heart of downtown and avoids unnecessary detours. \n\n\n\nPlaces to Stay\n\n\n\nMost of the weekend will be centered in downtown Winston-Salem. The venues you will want to be near are Hanesbrands Theater at 209 North Spruce Street at Second\, Bookmarks at 634 West Fourth Street\, and a/perture cinema at 311 West Fourth Street. Other venues (croquet on Friday\, socializing on Saturday night and Sunday morning) will require a rideshare or a car. There are many restaurants\, coffee shops\, bakeries\, and bars in the downtown district as well. \n\n\n\nWe recommendCourtyard by MarriottOn the west side of downtown\, at 640 West Fourth Street next to Bookmarks\, this mid-priced Marriott offering is much newer than the Fifth Street Marriott and has parking. This would be a very convenient and satisfactory location for the weekend events.Hampton Inn & SuitesCentrally located at 235 North Cherry Street\, at Third\, this Hilton property is\, like the Courtyard by Marriott\, much newer than its pricier big brother on Fifth Street. \n\n\n\nTwo options that would be more upscaleThe Kimpton Cardinal HotelThis is the former R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. headquarters\, a gorgeous Art Deco building\, finished in 1929 as an architectural sketch for the Empire State Building. It is now a high-end luxury hotel\, on the east side of downtown\, at 51 East Fourth Street with the entrance on Main Street\, with a restaurant in the lobby and valet parking. Intrigued visitors may want to visit the lobby or restaurant rather than stay there.Hotel IndigoLike all Hotel Indigos\, this is an historic building that has become a hotel. The former Pepper Building\, at 104 West Fourth Street\, is now a very nice hotel with a restaurant and valet parking\, located on Fourth Street downtown. \n\n\n\nTwo standard convention hotelsEmbassy Suites by Hilton and Winston-Salem MarriottThese two hotel towers cater to visitors to the convention center (where we will not be meeting) and have the features one would expect. They are on the corners of Fifth Street and Cherry Street on the north side of downtown and have been there since the 80s. \n\n\n\nThree inns that are in historic buildingsThe Brookstown InnThis historic 1837 mill building at 200 Brookstown Avenue is now an inn. It is not as close to the events\, but is possible for downtown walking\, and is close to the Old Salem area and across the street from a good bakery and a couple of dining options.The Shaffner Inn and the Summit Street InnsThese three historic houses are managed together. The Shaffner Inn is on the south edge of downtown at 150 South Marshall Street. The two houses on Summit Street are side by side at 434 Summit Street and near three good restaurants. They are in the West End\, the historic residential district just west of downtown proper\, but still walkable to downtown\, a 10-minute walk from Bookmarks. \n\n\n\nThere are all the usual options at interstate highway nodes\, but we urge people to stay downtown\, and all of these will be convenient to the events\, restaurants\, etc. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFULL CONFERENCE PROGRAM\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConference Registration\n\n\n\nYour registration fee grants you access to all the exciting events on the schedule—including Saturday lunch\, a sweet Saturday night dessert\, and a delightful Sunday brunch—while also helping cover venue costs. But that’s not all! As part of this special celebration\, you’ll receive a beautifully printed keepsake from Cheshire Cat Press\, five collectible booklets totaling over 100 pages\, a stunning 120-page illustrated exhibition catalogue\, and a variety of other charming commemorative items to remember this milestone event.If you are already a member\, please login before proceeding to get tickets. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease select the number of tickets you require before clicking ‘Get Tickets’. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExploring Winston-Salem and Beyond: Local Attractions\, Entertainment\, and Dining Options\n\n\n\nWinston-Salem is a vibrant\, walkable city with much to explore. Be sure to check the full conference program for a curated list of attractions\, activities\, and dining options. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFULL CONFERENCE PROGRAM URL:https://www.lewiscarroll.org/event/lcsna-fall-2025-conference/ LOCATION:Hanesbrands Theatre\, 209 N.

Board meetings were generally scheduled just prior to those conferences and were open to all members. While relatively few non-Board members attended\, those who did appreciated the opportunity to see the Board at work. \n\n\n\nWhen COVID struck and meetings moved to Zoom\, the Board began meeting more frequently (every 1–2 months). Unfortunately\, it became impractical to conduct regular Board business in open Zoom sessions. However\, we remain committed to keeping our membership informed about the challenges and opportunities facing the Society\, as well as hearing your questions\, concerns\, and ideas. \n\n\n\nAs an experimental solution\, we will hold a members-only open virtual Board update on Saturday\, October 4 at 3:00 pm Eastern Time / 12:00 pm Pacific Time. All current members are invited\, and you will receive the Zoom link directly by email to attend. This will not be a formal working session of the Board. Instead\, we will provide a brief update on the most significant issues the Board has addressed over the past year\, followed by an open session for questions and comments. \n\n\n\nAfter the update\, stay with us for a virtual social hour—a chance to mingle\, chat\, and connect with fellow Carrollians. Since this will be a standard Zoom meeting\, you’ll be able to interact directly\, and the transition to the social hour will be seamless. \n\n\n\nWe look forward to seeing you there!

Haven Hawley\, Chair\, Special and Area Studies Collections\, University of Florida\n\n\n\nRamona Caponegro\, Curator\, Baldwin Library of Historical Children’s Literature\, University of Florida\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\nConnecting Carroll with Classes and Research in the UF English Department (9:45 am – 11:00 am) \n\n\n\n\nMagic from the Margins: Lewis Carroll\, George MacDonald\, and Legacies of the Victorian Fantastic\,Maxine DonnellyRecent English-language fiction for children and young adults seems dominated by the fantastic: from the deep cultural impacts of Harry Potter and The Hunger Games to the mainstream appeal of supernatural teen shows like The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Stranger Things\, fantasy’s former status as shameful “nerd” interest seems to be on the wane in youth circles. Instead\, fantasy has become a mode of escape and resistance for many. This may seem strange: the genre’s roots in the popular fantastic fiction of late Victorian Britain might not seem to fit the hyper-informed “commitment to diversity” environment of youth publishing and readership in the 21st century. But even as critics (particularly queer readers and readers of color) challenge persisting structural and symbolic inequities in fantastic genres\, a deeper look at foundational Victorian texts reveals some reasons fantastic fiction still holds promise. A transgenerational community of authors\, identifying with the “childishness” or “untimeliness” of fantasy worlds\, wrote themselves into importance by reclaiming magic their modern world seemingly pushed aside. Maxine will briefly discuss her work on these authors\, focusing on the Scottish fantasy author George MacDonald\, his influence on Lewis Carroll\, and the attention to social and spatial margins their work transmits to contemporary fantastic fiction.\n\n\n\nHaptic Engagements in Wonderland: Alice’s Adaptations at the Baldwin Library\,Felipe González-SilvaAs part of his Spring 2022 Introduction to Adaptation Studies class at the University of Florida students visited the Baldwin Library to interact with a sample from the infinitude of written and illustrated adaptations of Lewis Carroll’s enduring book\, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. With Dr. Ramona Caponegro’s curation of titles grouped by “types” of adaptations and paired with prompts to encourage contemplation\, students spent a class period reading\, taking notes and pictures\, playing with movables\, and in other ways becoming involved with these material revisitations of the children’s literature classic. Although their responses and particular interests varied and developed throughout the semester\, this session inspired students to value their material encounters with adaptations\, to recognize and reflect upon the creation and reception of adaptations as “experiences expressing experiences\,” to use scholar Amanda Ruud’s term. This presentation recounts their experience at the Baldwin and its impact on the students’ academic and creative approaches to adaptations. It examines reading and engaging physically with materials as activities that enact the process and enjoyment of adaptation away from reductive comparisons and value judgments. The presentation also briefly considers the influence of this visit on the class’s main assignment: an adaptation screenplay.\n\n\n\nDocumentary as Rabbit Hole\, Archive as WonderlandKathryn HampshireIn an upper-division English course on literature for young children\, she incorporated materials from the Baldwin archive two separate times to give students the opportunity to engage with the materiality of primary texts in a tangible\, memorable way. One of these visits was dedicated to an exploration of the archive’s collection of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland materials. These visits dovetailed Kathryn’s inclusion of introductions to a dozen different branches of literary theory throughout this course\, as well as multimodal materials like documentaries. This talk includes an overview of the picture book course\, an explanation of her decision to incorporate theory\, and the rationale for including two different curated archival material experiences. She will focus her time on providing a description of the specific course framing for Carroll’s work\, a summary of student responses to this approach to teaching Alice\, and a reflection on these pedagogical experiences.\n\n\n\n\nDown the Archival Rabbit Hole (11:00 am – 12:00 pm) \n\n\n\n\nRamona Caponegro introduces the Baldwin Library of Historical Children’s Literature\, a collection of approximately 120\,000 books for young people published between the mid-1600s and today. The Baldwin houses several hundred editions of Carroll’s works\, particularly Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass\, and Alice-inspired retellings and adaptations. While these books provide a wonderful foundation for comparative studies\, Ramona will discuss how they can also be used as a springboard to explore important trends and milestones within children’s literature\, as well as other treasures within the Baldwin.    \n\n\n\n\nLunch (12:00 pm – 1:15 pm) \n\n\n\nThoughts on Scholarship (With Show and Tell) (1:15 pm – 2:30 pm) \n\n\n\n\nCharlie Lovett shares thoughts on Lewis Carroll scholarship and research with particular reference to his recently published book\, Lewis Carroll: Formed by Faith (which Edward Guiliano calls an “astonishing work”). Charlie will discuss context\, research\, and vision in scholarship\, while sharing stories of researching and writing the first major study of Lewis Carroll’s religious life. The lecture will include a sneak peak into the pages of Lewis Carroll: Formed by Faith and will conclude with an examination of several key sources not used in any previous study of Lewis Carroll. Charlie will bring rare materials to exhibit and will have copies of his book for sale.\n\n\n\n\nReimagining Wonderland (2:30 pm – 3:45 pm) \n\n\n\n\nThrough photographic surrealism\, Maggie Taylor has created distinctive Illustrations for Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (Modernbook\, 2008) and Through the Looking-Glass\, And What Alice Found There (Moth House\, 2018). The images she created for Carroll’s beloved works have also been featured in two museum shows\, “Almost Alice: New Illustrations of Wonderland” and “Dreaming Alice: Maggie Taylor’s Through the Looking Glass.” Maggie will discuss the creation process of her Carroll-inspired artwork and will show examples of her work.\n\n\n\n\nBreak (3:45 pm – 4:00 pm) \n\n\n\nThere’s Something About Alice: Alice’s Adventures in Popular Culture (4:00 pm – 5:30 pm) \n\n\n\n\nAndy Malcolm will offer an exclusive screening of his new documentary film\, There’s Something About Alice: Alice’s Adventures in Popular Culture. The screening will be followed by a question-and-answer session with Malcolm about the film.\n\n\n\n\nLCSNA Announcements (5:30 pm – 5:45 pm) \n\n\n\n\nLinda Cassady and Alan Tannenbaum will present LCSNA Officer election results.\n\n\n\n\nReception in the Grand Reading Room (6:00 pm – 7:15 pm) \n\n\n\nInto the Nightmare-Verse Trilogy (7:15 pm – 8:30 pm) \n\n\n\n\nLeatrice “Elle” McKinney\, writing as L.L. McKinney\, set her young adult fantasy trilogy\, the Nightmare-Verse books\, in contemporary Atlanta and in a Wonderland inspired by Lewis Carroll’s creation. McKinney’s Alice\, a Black teenager\, travels to Wonderland to battle the Nightmares that cross the boundary between Wonderland and our world\, while still coping with losses and fears\, as well as family and friends\, at home. A Blade So Black (Imprint\, 2018) and A Dream So Dark (Imprint\, 2019) introduce the power players and conflicts in Wonderland\, and fans hope that A Crown So Cursed (Imprint\, 2023) will bring peace to the realm.       \n\n\n\n\nSunday\, November 6\, 2022\, George A Smathers Libraries\, 9:00 am – 2:00 pm\n\n\n\nIntroduction to Special and Area Studies Collections (9:00 am – 9:30 am) \n\n\n\n\nHaven Hawley\, Chair of Special and Area Studies Collections at the George A.

A table with Eastern and UK times will be posted. \nWelcome – 9:30 amCatherine Quinlan\, Dean of the USC LibrariesLinda Cassady\, President\, Lewis Carroll Society of North America \nLa caccia allo Squarlo: what happened to the Broker? – 9:45 amDaniela Amansi \nLa Caccia allo Squarlo (orecchio acerbo\, 2021) is the latest Italian translation of Lewis Carroll’s The Hunting of the Snark. I will present the book\, how it fits in the landscape of Italian Carrolliana (previous Italian Snarks and Jabberwockys)\, its choice of illustrations and the rule of “sound over sense” that influenced my translation choices – with tragic consequence for the poor Broker. I will read a few passages from my translation but no prior knowledge of Italian is required. \nMore Than Just “an Obscure Writer on Logic”: George Englebretsen’s critical insights into Charles Dodgson’s contributions to the field of logic. – 10:30 amGeorge Englebretsen & Mark Richards \nSince the early 1970s Professor Englebretsen (Bishop’s University\, Québec) has published a number of notes\, essays and reviews\, exploring aspects of Lewis Carroll’s work on logic. In commemoration of the recent re-publication of these important pieces (Carrollian Notes\, 2021) George Englebretsen will discuss his work with Mark Richards\, offering some critical insights into Dodgson’s contribution to this field of study. This conversation will include an open Q&A session and will serve as both an introduction to Dodgson’s work as well as an opportunity to explore what makes it unique. \nSelwyndipity – 11:15 amSelwyn Goodacre \nSelwyn enjoys frequent discussions online with other Carroll scholars – on all manner of matters – like should ‘under’ in the title of Alice’s Adventures under Ground be upper or lower case? And what about the differing versions of Savile Clark’s Alice  play? \nIn the last few years he published two books of annotations to the Alice books: Elucidating Alice and Reflecting Alice. He will discuss why he wanted to do this when there was already a fine annotated edition by Martin Gardner (revised by Mark Burstein). He intends to publish a third volume – on The Hunting of the Snark – provisionally titled Engaging the Snark. \nHe will discuss his recently published book of essays written over the last 40 years – on a varied range of topics – including ‘The Illnesses of Lewis Carroll’\, his investigations into the Carroll forgery\, and a very critical piece on Sylvie and Bruno. There are essays on Beatrix Potter\, and other children’s book writers (e.g. Kate Douglas Wiggin\, Enid Blyton). Included are articles on certain medical matters\, and essays of personal interest. \nLunch Break and Social Hour – 12:00 pmHeather Simmons \nOn Beginning at the Beginning and Stopping at the End: Alice in a World of Wonderlands – the English-Language Editions\, and Moving Beyond Tenniel – 1:15pmArnold HirshonAlice in a World of Wonderlands: The English Language Editions of the Four Alice Books Published Worldwide has been in development for over five years\, and will soon be published.  As Jon A. Lindseth’s co-editor\, Arnold Hirshon will discuss the development and contents of the two-volume set\, which will include both numerous essays on the publication and illustration history of the books\, life essays by the contributors\, and ten checklists of the English-language editions published worldwide.  Hirshon will also discuss some of the findings from his extensive chapter “Beyond Tenniel: The Evolution of Visual Representations of Wonderland by Illustrators of the English-Language Editions” (which includes over 400 illustrations\, many of which will be in color)\, as well as his research for the indexes and statistical findings about the illustrators and the publishers of the four books. \nPaddy Whacked: Tenniel\, Nast\, and 19th Century Irish Caricature – 2:00 pmMichael Dooley \nBreak – 2:45 pm \nWonderland Award: Where Are They Now? – 3:00 pmStyles Akira\, PhD\, Brand Strategist and Market ResearcherAroussiak Gabrielian\, PhD\, APF\, ASLA\, FAAR.

The seemingly unlikely story of why and how Alice became involved with the business of selling beer began in December 1929 when the Walrus and the Carpenter appeared on a poster promoting Guinness and oysters. How did a beer company get permission from Macmillan to use their property? Find this out and other mysteries during their talk and virtual studio visit with a pint of Guinness. Cheers! \nBallet Shoes and Hair Ribbons – 10:15 amKiera VaclavikThis talk explores what Noel Streatfeild’s classic career novel Ballet Shoes: A Story of Three Children on the Stage (1936) reveals about Alice in the all-important decade of the 1930s. Analysis of a specific episode involving a professional performance of Alice in Wonderland and a broader comparison of the Alice books and Streatfield’s novel turns the spotlight on some understudied elements of Carroll’s work including girlhood in relation to performance\, sisterly relations and agency. \nArtificial Intelligence\, Generative Art\, and Alice – 11:15 amDazhi Zhong & Curtis Fletcher\, USC \nLunch and Social Hour – 12:00 pmHeather Simmons \nAlice’s Adventures under Ground: A Wonderment – 1:00 pmStephanie LovettThis talk is based on an essay Stephanie Lovett contributed to the forthcoming bibliography of English-language editions of Alice in Wonderland\, and considers the nature and significance of Alice’s Adventures under Ground.

This talk will look at what happened and what changed for the members of this extraordinary place. \nMark Davies presents “Alice in Waterland” \nThe boat trips on the Thames are well known as having inspired the first telling of the story of Alice\, but the river’s influence on Lewis Carroll extends much further. Mark Davies\, who lived on a houseboat in Oxford for thirty years\, will touch on some of the Oxford realities which underlie the story on two virtual river cruises. On the bank\, look out for the Red Queen and the Hatter\, and mention of another regular Thames oarsman whose river excursions are rarely referenced: John Tenniel. \nMy GenerationIn what ways does Lewis Carroll continue to inspire popular culture today?\n“Stories Are Meant To Be Retold” with Christopher Myers \nWhat does a nonsense poem written in Victorian times have in common with a one-on-one basketball game? Quite a lot\, when one considers the tradition of creating worlds and appreciating moments when cultures touch. Artist Chris Myers illustrates the importance of re-telling the stories that have been gifted to us with his re-imagining of Jabberwocky. \nKiera Vaclavik presents “Alice Is The New Black: The Evolution of a Fashion Icon” \nThis talk explores the career of a rather unlikely international style icon\, probing some of the reasons why Alice and the books she inhabits have become such a sustained\, frequent and rich source of inspiration for the fashion industry. \nMike Batt presents “The Composing of the Snark” \nDoes setting Snark to music involve more forks and hope\, or smiles and soap? Mike Batt takes us behind the music and details the creation of his concept album and West End stage musical The Hunting of the Snark. \nGolden YearsHow did Charles Dodgson spend his post-Alice retirement years?\nClare Imholtz presents “Alice Takes to the Stage: Lewis Carroll’s Letters to Henry Savile Clarke” \nLewis Carroll wrote more than 90 letters to Henry Savile Clarke\, the playwright who brought Alice to the London stage in 1886/7 (and again in 1888/9)\, and a few to Clarke’s daughters. When Morton Cohen asked Clare to edit the letters\, she really didn’t know what she was getting into. Her talk will explore the letters and what they reveal of Carroll’s personality\, and will touch on staging\, performances\, actors and actresses\, reviews\, legislation affecting theatre at that time\, the Clarke family\, other Alice plays… and who knows what else. \nAndy Malcolm and George Walker present “The Cheshire Cat Press: We’re All Mad Here!” \nMeet Andy Malcolm and George Walker in their Toronto print studio talking about their unique handmade limited-edition books. With over seven titles in print relating to Lewis Carroll and currently with three more in the oven\, you’ll get to hear their stories of rag paper and wood blocks covered in ink and how this printing process grows into a finely crafted book. Making books by hand in editions of 42 (for reasons only Mr. Charles Dodgson can explain) proves beyond any doubt that these friends are truly struck by madness that can only be equaled by the purchase of railway shares and participation in a perpetual tea-time. Whatever they may say\, you are in for a frabjous visit! \n“A Visit to Uncle Dodgson’s Fireside” with Linda Gray-Moin \nCome on a visit back in time to Victorian Oxford\, and learn how Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll) chose to design the heart of his home\, his hearthside.  What art did he admire and purchase\, and who were the creators of these works?  What other belongings did he choose to surround himself with?  Hear directly from his favorite child friends of the 1880’s and 90’s about what a visit to “Uncle Dodgson’s” rooms was like! \nMeet The Speakers\nJudith Curthoys MSt\, PGCertArchHist\, DAA\, FRHistS\, has been archivist at Christ Church since 1994.

The program is exceptional and our program host is Arnold Hirshon\, Vice Provost and University Librarian at Case Western Reserve University and LCSNA Board member. \nRegistration\nThe meeting is free and open to the public. However to ensure there are virtual seats for the event we ask that you register. \nRegister \nClick here for a PDF version of the Agenda and Speaker Bios \n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n12:00 pm – 12:15 pm\nWelcome – Linda Cassady\, President\, LCSNA\n\n\n12:15 pm – 1:05 pm\nMichael Hancher will discuss “Revising The Tenniel Illustrations to the ‘Alice” Books (1985\, 2019)\,” including the updated original twelve chapters of the 1985 edition and six new chapters on book and image production concerning engraving\, electrotyping\, printing\, coloring\, reengraving\, and “Retrospect: Looking with Alice.”\n\n\n1:05 pm – 1:35 pm\nArnold Hirshon. “Beyond Tenniel: Trailblazing Illustrators of Alice.” Despite common assumptions\, the “long shadow of Tenniel” did not dictate the work of later illustrators\, nor was Tenniel always the best or right. Even the earliest editions contained many underappreciated innovations that went beyond what Tenniel imagined or delivered.\n\n\n1:35 pm – 2:40 pm\nJared Bendis\, Ben Gorham\, and Amanda Koziura\, three members of the Freedman Center for Digital Scholarship team at the Kelvin Smith Library of Case Western Reserve University will explore “Digital Alice”\, with presentations about interactive online displays of Alice\, applying geospatial information (GIS) to map developments in the dissemination of the works of Lewis Carroll\, and creating new printing woodblocks from the original images using laser technology.\n\n\n2:40 pm – 3:00 pm\nBreak\n\n\n3:00 pm – 3:35 pm\nAugust Imholtz. “The History of the Appleton edition of Alice.” This paper discusses the history of the Appleton Alice\, how it almost came not to be\, how it came to be\, what it is\, its variations\, its marketing\, its early reception in the United States\, and its survival.\n\n\n3:35 pm – 4:10 pm\nEdward Guiliano.   “Lewis Carroll: A Poet First.” Lewis Carroll’s first and last published works were both poems. Lost or under-appreciated in the universe of his Alice books\, the beauty of his photographs\, his games\, puzzles and mathematics is the centrality of poetry in his life and his creative expression. His talent for poetry was precious and prodigious. While his devotion to his Christian religion as well as to mathematics and logic were key constants in his life\, so too\, curiouser and curiouser\, was poetry a life-long anchor and friend.\n\n\n4:10 pm – 4:45 pm\nMatt Demakos. “The Blip: The Engraver’s Role in Tenniel’s Process.” This session will explore the engraver’s responsibility when cutting Tenniel’s finished drawings on the wood. Demakos will delve into the different types of engraving\, the process of physically cutting the block\, and\, most importantly\, the accuracy of the cutting. Who is exactly responsible for the final image?\n\n\n\nAbout the Speakers\nJared Bendis is the Creative New Media Officer at the Freedman Center for Digital Scholarship of the Kelvin Smith Library at Case Western Reserve University.

The guardian angel of her sense of humor\, Madison Hatta\, Sonneteer\, sprang fully-formed into April’s awareness in 2011\, sending through frequent doses of Levi-Tea that April endeavors to get out into the world in a form true to both of them. April plus Madison have published two chapbooks of Madisonnets—Madison Hatta’s Book of Unreasonable Rhymes\, and Madison Hatta’s Book of Unrelenting Rhymes—through Philadelphia’s Moonstone Press. Keep an ear out for their podcast series\, April Plus Madison’s Amusings on SoundCloud. \nBob Stek is a retired psychologist who spontaneously memorized Jabberwocky as a young teenager and purchased the “Annotated Alice” while in high school. Martin Gardner led him to the “Annotated Sherlock Holmes” several years later\, and he is now obsessed with both Carroll and Doyle and their literary creations. He has been a member of the Baker Street Irregulars since 1996 but was only introduced to the LCSNA and LCS by fellow Sherlockian/Carrollians Dayna Nuhn and Dana Richards about five years ago. \nCharlie Lovett is the New York Times bestselling author of The Bookman’s Tale\, First Impressions\, and The Lost Book of the Grail. His plays for children have been seen in over 4\,500 productions worldwide. He is the host of the podcast Inside the Writer’s Studio.

After a decade working in the restaurant industry\, it was a relief to finally have a chair\, a salary\, some health benefits\, and vacation days. Over the course of the last 11 years\, she has certainly seen her share of marvelous and rare books. In 2017\, however\, the curator of printed materials handed her a very special book: a work of literature! The APS holds collections on botany\, anthropology\, linguistics\, physics\, and early American history\, but it is rare to be met with literature\, much less a children’s classic. It has been a true pleasure to be met with literature\, much less a children’s classic. \nLinda Cassady\, LCSNA President. \nDavid McKnight is the Director of the Annenberg Rare Book and Manuscript Library at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries.

Who better to balance the cold\, precise calculating mind of Sherlock Holmes than the cast of characters who wander around Wonderland? Ira Matetsky\, Dayna Nuhn\, Dana Richards\, and Robert Stek are all investitured members of the Baker Street irregulars and owe their current mental states to the combined influences of those complementary D’s of Victorian literature\, Dodgson and Doyle. \nEllie Schaefer-Salins is a third generation Carrollian collector.

His research and teaching interests include gothic & horror studies\, children’s & young adult literature\, and Chicanx literary & cultural studies. The full title of his talk is: “It’s Not Easy Being a Girl in Heteropatriarchy: On Female Coalition and Mentorship (or the Lack Thereof) in Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland\, Tobe Hooper’s Texas Chain Saw Massacre\, Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses\, and Gloria Anzaldua’s Prietita and the Ghost Woman.” \n\n\n\nIain McCaig is a phenomenally creative storyteller and artist\, having been principal character designer\, concept artist\, or art director for such major films as Star Wars (Episodes I\, II\, III\, VI\, VII\, VIII\, and Solo)\, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire\, Charlotte’s Web\, Guardians of the Galaxy\, The Jungle Book\, Avengers: Infinity War\, Spiderman: Homecoming\, and Doctor Strange. He is also a script writer\, director\, and author (e.g.\, Shadowline: The Art of Iain McCaig\, Insight\, 2008). The title of his presentation refers to his talk at our Fall 2007 meeting in Seattle\, where he spoke about his work-in-progress\, illustrating Alice\, which he’d promised himself to finish by his 82nd birthday (2040). But a life-changing event changed his perspective and priorities\, and he will now be completing it by the Looking-glass anniversary in 2022. \n\n\n\nDr. Seth Mallios\, San Diego State University anthropology professor and University History curator\, will be leading a behind-the-scenes tour of previously lost campus murals from the 1930s\, ‘40s\, and ‘50s\, culminating at the recently restored Alice in Wonderland mural in Hardy Tower. This striking 12′ by 6′ artwork\, painted by Albert Joe Lewis in 1949\, showcases Carroll’s characters in spectacular color. The mural was long thought to have been destroyed during a building renovation\, but infrared photography revealed that it had merely been hidden beneath layers of white paint\, and painstaking conservation efforts have brought it back to life. Unveiled in 2016 as part of a campus-wide celebration of the legacy of Alice in Wonderland\, this mural speaks to Carroll’s lasting influence on young minds and the importance of fantasy and nonsensical fun following the horrors of global warfare.
