Charles Lutwidge Dodgson--known better by his pseudonym, Lewis Carroll--was a 19th century English logician, mathematician, photographer, and novelist. He is especially remembered for his children's tale Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking Glass. By the time of Dodgson's death in 1898, Alice (the integration of the two volumes) had become the most popular children's book in England. By the time of his centenary in 1932, it was perhaps the most famous in the world. This book presents a complete catalogue of Dodgson's personal library, with attention to every book the author is known to have owned or read. Alphabetized entries fully describe each book, its edition, its contents, its importance, and any particular relevance it might have had to Dodgson. The library not only provides a plethora of fodder for further study on Dodgson, but also reflects the Victorian world of the second half of the 19th century, a time of unprecedented investigation, experimentation, invention, and imagination. Dodgson's volumes represent a vast array of academic interests from Victorian England and beyond, including homeopathic medicine, spiritualism, astrology, evolution, women's rights, children's literature, linguistics, theology, eugenics, and many others. The catalogue is designed for scholars seeking insight into the mind of Charles Dodgson through his books.
Excerpt from "Skeletons at the Feast," or the Radical Programme It is an undisputed fact that during the last thirty years there has been an exodus from the rural parts of England to its urban centres; that the population of the country has diminished, and the population of the towns greatly increased. Apart from the growing passion for society, in the accurate sense of that word, for excitement, and for what is called amusement, a motive that has operated in all countries, since the making of railways, to seduce country-folk of all classes into cities, the prin cipal cause of this migration has been that change in our economic policy, decreed forty years ago, which, whether wise or the reverse, people are beginning to discern is most inaccurately described as Free Trade. There were two prophecies made at the time of its introduction. Its advocates prophesied that, before a generation had passed away, foreign nations would throw open their ports to our goods as freely as we were going to throw open our ports to theirs, and thus what would then have been properly called Free Trade would be established throughout the world. Its Opponents prophesied that it would have no such effect, and that it would grievously depress, if it did not end bv ruining, the trade of English agriculture.
