The Lewis Carroll Society was formed in 1969 with the aim of encouraging research into the life and works of Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson). The Society has members around the world, including many leading libraries and institutions, authors, researchers and many who simply enjoy Carroll's books and want to find out more about the man and his work. Why not join the LCS - for your own interest and entertainment or to make a contribution to Carroll scholarship? Our subscription are remarkably low for a society of this nature.
October 2009 Mailing
The October 2009 newsletter (Bandersnatch #144) and reviewing journal (Lewis Carroll Review #41) have been despatched to all members. However, we advise members that delivery might be delayed as a consequence of the recent national postal workers' strike and the on-going industrial action in the London area.
Forthcoming Meetings
Lewis Carroll Society Autumn Meeting: Diverse Interests
Friday, 13 November 2009 at the
Haldane Room, University College, Gower St, London.
One of our occasional, and always popular, “Short Papers” evenings. Talks include Sarah Jardine-Willoughby on Mrs Gatty, editor of Aunt Judy’s Magazine; Roger Scowen on Carroll’s wonderfully witty and instructive 8 or 9 Wise Words about Letter-Writing; and artist Tigz Rice on how Alice has inspired her work as an illustrator. There will also be a round-up of recent Carrollian news including some interesting developments in the search for the elusive Cato Schaap.
Our Annual General Meeting will be held on the same day at the same venue, starting at around 6:45pm and ending by 7:00pm. Members are encouraged to attend the AGM, but are welcome to arrive at any time prior to the start of the lectures at 7:30pm. The Annual Reports, which will be presented at the AGM, are included in the latest issue of Bandersnatch.
