Lewis Carroll and Stammering
Art Workers’ Guild, 6 Queen Square, London WC1N 3AT
On the 5th of September (7-9 pm) at the Art Workers’ Guild, two speakers will inform those attending about the debilitating effects of stammering, and how it affected Lewis Carroll’s life.
The talks will begin with Vivien Grant-Jones, Speech and Language Therapist from the City Literary Institute in Holborn. Vivien will define what stammering is, its causation, and current methods used in treatment – with special reference to the psychological aspects of the disorder.
This will be followed by retired Speech and Language Therapist and Lewis Carroll Society Committee Member, Sarah Stanfield who will outline how stammering impacted the Dodgsons, what Victorian treatments were available and how his stammering impacted Lewis Carroll’s personal and professional life.
