SUMMARY:LCSNA Fall Conference 2021: WCLD Radio Alice
DESCRIPTION:Watch the conference videos on YouTube  \n\n\n\n\nWCLD: Radio Alice\nZoom in\, sit back and relax as you hear academic authorities\, Oxford experts and accomplished artists expound on all things Carrollian. \nYour full day of programming is a trilogy of can’t-miss segments starting at Noon Eastern time/9:00AM Pacific time. \nZoom Webinar\, no registration needed! https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86225023409 \nYour 2021 Fall Meeting PDF Program \nA Day In The LifeWhat was life like for a young Oxford don?\nJudith Curthoys presents “All Change!”  \nChrist Church\, in the middle years of the 19th century\, was undergoing change as never before in its history. 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. During that time\, she has co-edited Christ Church: A Portrait of the House (2006)\, has contributed articles to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (2004)\, and written four books on various aspects of Christ Church’s history.  She has two grown-up children\, one of whom is a front-line nurse in an NHS operating theatre and one who served in the RAF before retraining as a librarian. \nMark Davies is an Oxford local historian\, author and guide with a particular interest in the history and literature of the city’s waterways. Mark is the author of Alice in Waterland: Lewis Carroll and the River Thames in Oxford (2012) and Alice’s Oxford on Foot (2016). He is a committee member of the Lewis Carroll Society in UK\, has helped to organise Oxford’s annual ‘Alice’s Day’ since the first one in 2007. He provides the only Alice-specific guided tours and boat commentaries in Oxford. www.oxfordwaterwalks.co.uk \nChristopher Myers is an award-winning author\, illustrator\, and fine artist who lives in New York. While he is widely acclaimed for his work with literature for young people\, he is also an accomplished fine artist who has lectured and exhibited internationally. A graduate of Brown University\, he has participated in the exclusive Whitney Museum of American Art Independent Studio Program. His illustrated works include Love: Selected Poems by E. E. Cummings; Harlem: A Poem\, a Caldecott Honor Book; Jazz\, a Coretta Scott King Honor Book; and Blues Journey\, a Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor Book. \nLinda Gray-Moin\, fine artist and Carroll enthusiast. Born on “the edge of the prairie” in Minnesota\, Linda moved to the SF Bay Area in 1975\, and has indulged two passions since childhood: Lewis Carroll and fine art painting. She studied Broadcast Journalism\, Film\, and Traditional Film Animation at the University of Minnesota and San Francisco State University. She has enjoyed perfecting her oil and watercolor painting technique over the years with numerous artist mentors\, as well as studies at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco\, the Golden Gate Atelier\, and the Los Angeles Figurative Academy. Linda Gray-Moin joined the LCSNA shortly after viewing the Dennis Potter film Dreamchild in 1985\, and has been a member ever since. She boasts the distinction of having attended 3 International Conferences of the Society (two of which were held at Christ Church\, Oxford). The rarefied ambience she experienced at Christ Church and her study of primary source material on Charles Dodgson’s life inspired a unique “mise en scène” art piece she will share at our meeting. \nClare Imholtz is an enthusiastic researcher\, writer\, editor\, and collector. She has published her research on Lewis Carroll in Papers of the Bibliographic Society of America\, The Book Collector\, the Knight Letter\, The Carrollian\, and elsewhere. She has co-authored a bibliography of the Sylvie & Bruno books and their afterlives; edited Elizabeth Sewell’s brilliant Lewis Carroll: Voices from France; and prepared an index to Jabberwocky\, predecessor to The Carrollian. She was secretary of the Lewis Carroll Society of North America and an editor of the LCSNA’s journal\, the Knight Letter from 2006 to 2014.

Kiera’s research centers on children’s literature and childhood culture from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day\, with a particular focus on Victorian works and their afterlives. Her project exploring the Alice books in relation to fashion and dress was supported by a 24-month AHRC fellowship and led to outputs including a fabric collection with Liberty\, London\, “The Alice Look” exhibition at the V&A Museum of Childhood which she curated (2015)\, and the monograph\, Fashioning Alice: The Career of Lewis Carroll’s Icon\, 1860-1901 (Bloomsbury\, 2019). Her most recent work on Carroll explores the long and fascinating tradition of male performance of Alice’s role\, as well as the sonic dimension of his Alice books.  \nMike Batt\, LVO is an English singer-songwriter\, musician\, arranger\, record producer\, director\, conductor and former Deputy Chairman of the British Phonographic Industry.

SUMMARY:Alice in Wonderland Movie Madness
DESCRIPTION:7:30 PM Eastern/4:30 PM Pacific \nWe all have our favorite Alice film adaptations. This is almost certainly not one of them. \nHave a blast with your fellow LCSNA members and friends watching a most curious take on the tale you all know and love\, Alice in Wonderland (1931). You’ll laugh\, you’ll cry\, you’ll marvel at Alice’s platinum wig and garish makeup. Not to mention the unexpected plot twists! In the words of renowned film historian David Schaefer:\n \n“The first full-length ‘articulate’ Alice in Wonderland was filmed in Fort Lee\, New Jersey (the former capital of silent films) in 1931. The actors are not well known\, and the sound techniques are abysmal. Added to these troubles\, the rabbit proclaims his love for the duchess and confesses that he stole the tarts for her!”\n \nThis event will be a Zoom meeting\, unlike our typical Zoom Webinars. Your host Heather will wield the all-powerful Mute All button while the movie plays. (Attendees will be able to make pithy comments in the written Chat\, of course.) When the movie is over and White Rabbit and the Duchess presumably ride off into the sunset together\, everyone is welcome to Unmute and remain for a post-screening social hour.

SUMMARY:A Virtual Sculpture Garden
DESCRIPTION:Watch this presentation about Alice in Wonderland sculptures on YouTube  \n\n\n\n\nTake in the works of two very different Carrollian master sculptors at our virtual sculpture garden. \nBios\nBridgette Mongeon is a Houston\, Texas sculptor specializing in portraits\, figurines\, monumental mascots\, awards\, and posthumous statues. You can find her sculptures across the United States. She is an accomplished writer\, author\, speaker and coach. Bridgette spoke about the creation of her in-progress “Move One Place On” at the Spring 2015 LCSNA meeting in Austin. The monumental Mad Tea-Party sculpture is now complete and graces Evelyn’s Park in Bellaire\, Texas. \nMaster sculptor Karen Mortillaro is collected not only for her figurative work but also for her illusions\, conceived in the imagination and executed with a detailed distinction that collectors find astonishing. Her work is found in both public and private collections. Karen is a longtime member of the LCSNA and gave a tour of the foundry where her anamorphic sculptures are cast at the Fall 2013 LCSNA Meeting.

SUMMARY:The Great Debate: Wonderland vs. Looking-Glass
DESCRIPTION:Watch the Great Alice in Wonderland Debate on YouTube  \n\n\n\n\nPlease join us for a delightful discourse you won’t hear anywhere else! Specially-selected Carrollian academics and literary luminaries will take sides and amicably argue once and for all which is the more scholastically significant\, culturally compelling\, engrossingly eloquent\, all-around better book: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland or Through the Looking-Glass??? Dr. Jan Susina and Charlie Lovett will redoubtably represent Team Wonderland\, while Ellie Luchinsky and Brian Sibley formidably fight for Team Looking-Glass. Attendees will have the opportunity to submit debate questions and also vote for their favorite tome at the beginning and end of the proceedings! \nIs this event all in good fun? Certainly. Is it also a knock-down dragout contest in which one team will triumphantly emerge victorious\, while the other suffers the stinging indignity of defeat? ABSOLUTELY. \nBios\nIn the Wonderland corner\, wearing the waistcoat and checkered pants: \n\nJan Susina teaches and researches children’s and adolescent literature and culture\, and Victorian literature and culture. His book\, The Place of Lewis Carroll in Children’s Literature (Routledge 2009\, 2011)\, examines how the author of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland significantly changed literature for children as well as publishing.\n\n\nCharlie Lovett is a writer\, teacher\, and playwright whose plays for children have been seen in over 5000 productions worldwide. He served for more than a decade as Writer-in-Residence at Summit School in Winston-Salem\, NC. Charlie is the author of the NYT Bestseller THE BOOKMAN’S TALE\, and FIRST IMPRESSIONS (A Novel of Old Books\, Unexpected Love\, and Jane Austen). He has a new novel\, just published in September\, Escaping Dreamland. He is a past president of the Lewis Carroll Society of North America.\n\nIn the Looking-Glass corner\, wearing the striped tights and unruly shawl: \n\nBrian Sibley is author of over 100 hours of radio drama and has written and presented hundreds of radio documentaries\, features and weekly programmes. He is widely known as the author of many film “making of” books\, including those for the Harry Potter series and The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies.\n\n\nIn 1968\, Ellen “Ellie” Luchinsky’s sister gave her The Complete [sic] Works of Lewis Carroll and Ellie’s fate was sealed. Nine years later\, she embarked on a 37 year career as a librarian at the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore\, where she was the Manager of the Fine Arts Department and later the Humanities Department. When not mystifying her co-workers with obscure Lewis Carroll quotations\, she edited The Song Index of the Enoch Pratt Free Library (Garland\, 1998).

SUMMARY:A Collector’s Path: The Course and Content of Collecting Today
DESCRIPTION:Time: 3:00 PM Eastern; 12:00 PM Pacific \nJoin Collections Advisor\, Spencer W. Stuart as he discusses case studies from his professional practice as well as the past to chart the life cycle of collections and the collectors who build them. \nThrough these examinations he will touch on important things collectors should consider at key moments of their collecting such as motivations that move one to collect\, how to maintain perspective while actively collecting and finally the legacy of a collection as well as deaccessioning strategies. \nReferenced throughout are the recent structural changes that have taken place in the fine art photography\, rare books and printed material markets\, resulting in a more transparent ecosystem to participate in as a collector as well as the emergence of tendencies Spencer has observed with new collectors that he feels are redefining notions of who collects and what influences their focus.Collecting is a journey. Executed with foresight\, it can be a source of both self-exploration and understanding of the World. Through his talk\, Spencer seeks to inspire new collectors and reinvigorate those with an established focus. \nCollecting is a journey.

SUMMARY:Book Club: The Pamphlets of Lewis Carroll\, Volume 6 & other works
DESCRIPTION:Watch The Pamphlets of Lewis Carroll\, Volume 6 on YouTube  \n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Charlie Lovett\, EditorHost: Heather SimmonsTime: 3:00pm [EST] \nThe Pamphlets of Lewis Carroll\, Volume 6: A Miscellany of Works on Alice\, Theater\, Religion\, Science\, and More. Published by the Lewis Carroll Society of North America/University Press of Virginia\, 2021 \nVolume 6 is divided into: Theater; Religion and Morality; Science and Mathematics; The Alice Books; Circular Letters; Photography; Letters and Postage; Humor; Stories; Undergraduate Papers; Poetry; Games\, Puzzles\, and Related Materials; and Miscellaneous\, along with informative illustrations\, appendices\, and a bibliography. \nThe sixth and final volume in the series collects over one hundred items which Lewis Carroll wrote on a wide variety of subjects. Drawn from separately published pamphlets\, contributions to periodicals\, and unpublished manuscripts\, many of these items have not been reprinted since the nineteenth century\, and more than a dozen are newly discovered. Dodgson here opines on the debate over children acting on stage\, religious and moral matters\, university affairs\, and more. His letters to the press cover a range of topics from the eight-hour workday to the problem of stray dogs in London to life on the island of Tristan da Cunha. This volume greatly expands our view of Carroll and shows him as a social activist\, moral philosopher\, and maverick. \nAbout Charlie Lovett\nCharlie Lovett\, a lifelong Carrollian scholar and collector\, as well as educator\, playwright\, and New York Times bestselling author\, provides detailed historical background and context for these writings with in-depth essays explaining why Dodgson wrote what he did and how others reacted to these writings at the time. \nOther Carroll related work in progress by Charlie includes: \n\nLewis Carroll Formed by Faith\, slated for publication by UVA Press in 2021.\nA Bibliography of the Works of Charles L. Dodgson (Lewis Carroll). Editor\, Charlie Lovett. To be published by the Lewis Carroll Society of North America. Unknown publication date. The book will revise and update information in the Lewis Carroll Handbook\, and add much new information and items that have come to light since the handbook’s most recent revision (1979). The work will be organized as a traditional bibliography\, including sections on separately printed items\, contributions to books\, contributions to periodicals\, cyclostyled items\, and miscellaneous other items. The purpose of the book will be to give both scholars and collectors a full and accurate description of the complete printed works of Lewis Carroll published in his lifetime. Much of the work in compiling this volume has been severely hampered by COVID-19.

SUMMARY:LCSNA Fall Conference 2020 Virtual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Watch the conference videos on YouTube  \n\n\n\n\nThe Hatter was the first to break the silence. “What day of the month is it?” he said\, turning to Alice: he had taken his watch out of his pocket\, and was looking at it uneasily\, shaking it every now and then\, and holding it to his ear.Alice considered a little\, and then said “The fourth.”“Six days wrong!”  sighed the Arnold Hirshon. \nThe LCSNA Fall Meeting is this coming Saturday\,  October 10\, 2020\, 12:00 – 4:45 PM\, EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME\, USA. \nWe are excited about the opportunity to “see” so many of you. 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.

SUMMARY:LCSNA Keepsake Printing @ the Common Press
DESCRIPTION:The folks at Penn’s Common Press are creating a 2019 LCSNA Keepsake for the Society that you will letterpress print. We will meet at the Orrery Pavilion\, 6th Floor and make the short walk to the press in small groups. \nCommon Press is the letterpress and book arts studio at the University of Pennsylvania. With printing presses dating from the 1850’s to the 1960’s and a collection of wood and metal type available for use\, the facility provides an environment to learn about the history of the book\, to creatively experiment with hands-on analog technologies\, to explore the origins of digital typography\, and to use the constraints of the letterpress print shop to spark new ways of thinking about their research in any field. Common Press supports movement between digital and manual image making\, and exists to support teaching and to facilitate creative projects across the university. Common Press is a collaboration of Penn Libraries\, Penn Design\, and Kelly Writers House. \nTickets will be provided at 15 minute intervals to enable all to have a relaxed time at the Common Press.

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. He has written or edited eight books on Lewis Carroll\, with two more on the way. He is a former president of the LCSNA. He curated the exhibition Alice Live! at Lincoln Center in New York in 2015. \nIn the fall of 2008\, Estelle Markel-Joyet began working as a rare materials cataloguer at the American Philosophical Society. 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. Mr. McKnight possesses a BA in Classics and History (McGill University\, Montreal\, 1985)\, an MA in English Literature (Concordia University\, Montreal\, 1993) and an MLIS (McGill University\, Montreal\, 1992). Prior to coming to the University of Pennsylvania in 2006\, McKnight was the Director of the Rare Book and Manuscript Library and Head of the Digital Collections Program at McGill University Libraries. He worked for McGill Libraries for fifteen years. McKnight possesses a particular knowledge and interest in the history of late 19th and 20th century avant-garde publishing. Recently he curated two major exhibitions\, Wise Men Fished Here: A Centenary Exhibition in Honor of the Gotham Book Mart: 1920 – 2020 and Experiment: Printing the Canadian Imagination. \nRiley McGuire is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of English at the University of Pennsylvania. He is currently working on a dissertation project entitled Figures of Speech: The Relational and Generic Forms of Vocal Impairment in Victorian Culture. He has taught courses on disability\, queer\, and media studies at Penn and Bryn Mawr College. His most recent article\, Writing Novels\, Simulating Voices: Euphonia\, Trilby\, and the Technological Sounding of Identity\, is forthcoming in Victorian Literature and Culture. \nSibylla Benatova came to the United States in 2001 and joined the family of Rare Books and Manuscripts at the Penn library. After completing her M.A in Arts at the Sofia Theater and Film Academy\, Sibylla was naturally drawn to the world of paper conservation. In 2007 her first illustrated children’s book\, The Magic Raincoat\, was published by Front Street Press\, and in 2008 the book was granted the Junior Library Guild award. Several book cover designs\, both in Bulgaria and the United States\, carry her artwork. Her hand-made Asian paper paintings have been exhibited in multiple solo and group shows in Bulgaria and Philadelphia. In 2014 Benatova started the A Book a Day program. \nSherlockian Carrollians. 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. Her grandmother began collecting Alice books in the 1890’s and her parents\, Maxine and David Schaefer\, greatly expanded the collection and were founding members of the LCSNA. Ellie houses this collection that has been in her family for over 115 years. Her specialty interest is collecting Wonderland/Carroll teapots. She claims to have the largest such collection in the world with approximately 200 teapots. She is a Social Work professor at Salisbury University and a mental health therapist for individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing.

Thomas is the author of a handful of essays and two books\, Poetry’s Playground: The Culture of Contemporary American Children’s Poetry (Wayne State UP\, 2007) and Strong Measures (Make Now P\, 2007). \n\n\n\nNYIT president emeritus Dr. Edward Guiliano is a renowned scholar of Victorian literature\, and the author and editor of an ever expanding number of Carrollian books and articles. He is a founding member of the LCSNA. Guiliano is the recipient of two honorary degrees and the Ellis Island Medal of Honor for his personal accomplishments\, social compassion\, and outstanding contributions to American society.

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.
