MORTON N. COHEN PUBLISHING TRUST FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE LEWIS CARROLL SOCIETY OF NORTH AMERICA
Professor Morton N. Cohen, a founding member of the Lewis Carroll Society of North America and a preeminent Carroll scholar, has established a trust fund to support the Society's scholarly publications program. Interest from the fund, which is to be known as the Morton N. Cohen Publishing Trust for the Benefit of the Lewis Carroll Society of North America, will be used to help underwrite the scholarly publications issued by the Society. Contributions to the trust fund may be made by others and will be gratefully accepted. The Society thanks Professor Cohen for his most generous gift.
FALL 1984 MEETING IN NEW YORK CITY:
On a brisk bright Saturday, Nov. 17, 1984, about 50 LCSNA members gathered at noon for lunch and conversation at Grand Ticino, a small Greenwich Village restaurant, where we enjoyed a nicely prepared meal. After lunch, a brief walk brought us to New York University's Elmer Holmes Bobst Library on Washington Square. The general meeting began at 2:00 p.m. in the Fales Library, a separate collection on the third floor of the Bobst Library, where another 20 members and guests joined us. Mr. Frank Walker, Librarian of the Fales, warmly welcomed us to the collection, which was donated to NYU by DeCoursey Fales, a New York banker, lawyer, and life-long bibliophile. Mr. Walker observed that the first theatrical production DeCoursey Fales saw as a boy had been Emily Prime Delafield's version of Alice on Mar. 1, 1897, and thus there was something fitting about the LCSNA meeting at the Fales Library.
President Sandor Burstein opened the meeting by thanking Mr. Walker for his kindness, summarized the Treasurer's report, and invited Secretary Maxine Schaefer to read the minutes from our last meeting, which were accepted without revision. Our first speaker, Pulitizer Prize winning composer David Del Tredici, responded expansively to a series of questions drawn up by Stan Marx. Stan began by asking Mr. Del Tredici what he had meant several years ago when he said of meeting Martin Gardner that "it was like meeting God." Mr. Del Tredici replied that he only began to understand and appreciate the Alice books after Martin G2Lrdner''s Annotated Alice introduced him to the puns, parodies, and multiple levels of meaning to be found in those works. Carroll's mathematical precision and whimsical nonsense so appealed to him that he began to set to music passages from the Alice books and in so doing his style became fixed in a return to tonality quite anachronistic in the atonal 1970s. Mr. Del Tredici played some selections from his recorded works to the delight of all — his Final Alice, available on the London label LDR 71018 with Barbara Hendricks and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under Sir Georg Solti, was the best selling "classical" recording a few years ago.
Our next speaker. Professor Morton N. Cohen, assessed Carroll's long and complex relation with the theater in a talk entitled "Lewis Carroll in the Wings." He discussed his topic under four headings. 1) Dodgson as Theater Goer: Dodgson maintained a life-long interest in the theater in spite of the views of churchmen like the Bishop of Oxford, Samuel Wilberforce, who thought it improper for clergymen to attend theatrical performances. 2) Dodgson as Playwright: As a young man Dodgson wrote marionette plays to amuse his family, of which the surviving La Guida di Bra£[ia, a mock Italian piece with obvious play upon Bradshaw's Railway Guide, illustrated his ability to contribute to this art form. 3) Dodgson as Theater Consultant: Dodgson contributed many useful suggestions to Henry Savile Clarke's stage version of the Alice books. 4) Dodgson as Advocate of the Social-Moral Function of the Theater: Dodgson argued against legislation that would have barred children from both sides of the footlights and strongly believed in the power of the theater to elevate the spirit and heighten the moral sense of the audience.
David R. Slavitt, who did not think very highly of Lewis Carroll, spoke next. Mr. Slavitt is an author, critic, teacher, and polymath whose most recent book, Alice at 80 (Doubleday & Co.: 1984), presents a revisionist view of Lewis Carroll's relations with his child friends. Mr. Slavitt sees Carroll (Dodgson) through the narrow focus of Freudian glasses.
During the intermission following Mr. Slavitt's presentation, many of us examined the exhibit of Carroll materials Mr. Walker
had so thoughtfully prepared and investigated the treasures of the Berol Collection of Carrolliana in a special Lewis Carroll Room off the Fales Library. We reassembled for a short business meeting during which we nominated and elected officers for the next two-year term. Maxine Schaefer and Ray Wapner were reelected as Secretary and Treasurer respectively, Joyce Hines was elected Vice President, and August A. Imholtz, Jr., accepted the responsibilities of President.
The new President then introduced Jeff Lunden and Arthur Perlman for the final presentation of the afternoon. Mr. Lunden and Mr. Perlman have collaborated on a musical which uses both actual incidents from Dodgson's life and fictional characters from the Alice books to express various aspects of his personality. Their musical, entitled "Once on a Summer's Day," was first presented simply as "Dodgson." After recounting the history of their collaboration, they played for us recorded excerpts from the Mad Hatter's Tea Party scene delightftilly cast in the British music hall tradition and their folk melody "Jabberwocky" with its threateningly martial underscore.
After thanking Mr. Walker and NYU for having us once again, the President adjourned the meeting.
AMENDMENT OF THE LCSNA CONSTITUTION
The Board of the Society drafted a revision of the LCSNA Constitution at an executive committee meeting in New York on Nov. 17, 1984.

THE PRINTED PAGE:
Alfred Knopfs boxed facsimile of the two Alice books is now available at $27.95. These are replicas of the M.2icmi]\^n firsts (though the AAIW is the 1866 edition, of course). Nicely done with gilt topedges, they are presented with an enclosed pamphlet by Michael Hancher telling the story of their origins and printing history. (The books are also available separately at $13.95 and this way do not come with the pamphlet.)
From LCSNA member Horst Miiggenburg of West Germany comes news of an AAIW comic book in German, published by Bastei Verlag with offices in Gladbach. No. 1 in their new series, copyright 1984 for 1,90 DM. Alice has a pet rabbit named Benny who introduces her to "another world". Horst also reports on a new ballet based on Alice by Rosemary Helliwell and music by Joseph Horovitz which played in Kiel earlier this year. The ballet lasted two hours with one intermission, and was accompanied by a booklet devoted to Carroll, Miss Liddell, and letters & photos. The comic book, by the way, was issued to accompany a series of animated cartoons of AAIW presented on the West German TV network.
Conversation with Jor£[e Luis Borges, by Richard Burgin, Holt, Rinehart & Winston, includes Borges' statement that he thought AAIW was a nightmare book and hinted that perhaps LC disliked the Tenniel drawings and would have preferred something simpler!
'7erseywocky" — Paul KiefFer's delightful parody of "Jabberwocky" in which New Jersey place names are substituted for Carroll's nonsense words — appeared in the Aug. 1984 issue of the Johns Hopkins Magazine.
Book of The Month Club News for July 1984 has a small box with the following: July 4, 1862. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson regales 10-year-old Alice Liddell with a tale of what happened to a little girl after she fell down a rabbit hole. He later (sic) adopted the pen name, Lewis Carroll, and immortalized Alice in a book.
The Continental Historical Society's re-issue of its version of AAIW has appeared zs Queen Viaoria's Alice in Wonderland. The book has now been set in type, has been reduced in price to $9.95, and looks much more professional. At last, however, there is a disclaimer on the verso of the title page, that this is a work of fiction and that remarks attributed to Queen Victoria are also fictional!
The Ohio University Press has reduced G. Anastapolo's The Artist As Thinker from $32.95 to $22. "A well-crafted study of thirteen authors . . . includes Carroll".
Night ofthejabberwock by Fredric Brown re-appears after some 30 years of being out-of-print, in a Black Box Thriller by Zomba Books, London, 1983. £5.95 "Murder, bank-robbing, gangsters and haunted houses in Lewis Carroll's Wonderland. A fascinating mystery — " Paperback, in US, $14.95.
Recently remaindered: Alice Through The Pillar Post (Gerald King), and the Mayflower editions of the Snark and Alice Underground.
Animal Land, by Margaret Blount, Avon Paperback, 1977, seen remaindered at $1.98. The cover shows Rackham's White Rabbit, and the frontispiece is Tenniel's Alice and the Dodo. Much of Chapter Four, "People with Heads," deals with the Alice books and Sylvie & Bruno.
An absolutely ^\t\\y Alice in Blunderland by Wallace Wood appears in Gang Bang #3, March 1983. Published by Nuance, Inc., P.O. Box 9076, Van Nuys, CA, 91409, @ $9.95. Wood was a MAD magazine cartoonist who has lost all restraint in this porno pastiche, although the "Jabberwocky" parody has a certain cleverness. Not for children.
The Economist for April 28, 1984 under "Science and Technology" has a five-page article on the structure of language. Full of Alician quotations and Tenniellian illustrations.
Tad's and Alice's Adventures by Charles J. Bauer is primarily an account of how Abraham Lincoln dealt with the tragedy of the Civil War and secondarily a collection of original verses on episodes from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Illustrated with numerous contemporary American and British cartoons of the Civil War era, including a Tenniel drawing of Lincoln perched Cheshire Cat fashion in a tree, the book is available to LCSNA members for $4.00 from: Charles J. Bauer, 15721 New Hampshire Ave., Silver Spring, MD, 20904.
BOOK REVIEWS:
Masters of Photography, LEWIS CARROLL. By Graham Ovenden. Macdonald & Co. London, England. Publication date: May 21, 1985. Paperbound, ISBN 0-356-10508-3. 64 p. Price: $10.95 or £6.95 in U.K.
Graham Ovenden's long-awaited publication of Lewis Carroll's photographs has at last been released. Macdonald and Company in London are printing the Masters of Photography series in large quarto-sized volumes intended to constitute "a comprehensive international history of photography."
Previous volumes include works of Mathew Brady, William Henry Jackson and Jacques-Henri Lartigue. This one, on Carroll, contains a long introduction by Mr. Ovenden and instructions on framing and matting the prints. The prints in the book, it must be noted, are reproduced on paper semi-perforated for removal from the book.
All of the photographs in the work are from Mr. Ovenden's private collection except one. Except for a few smaller photos included in the introduction (Carroll, Alice, etc.) the first large reproduction shows Gertrude Dykes looking very much like Mary Badcock or Tenniel's Alice. The unwary might easily mistake this likeness for that of the "real Alice" since the identification of the photo is virtually hidden at the edge of the binding. Indeed, it took three inspections of the book for this reviewer to locate the picture tides, so well-concealed are they. The next photos on Wi" x 12" paper include nine of the various LiddeUs, five of the Terry family, and ten unrelated others.
Mr. Ovenden has included many of these same photos in the revised edition of his Illustrators of Alice (1979), and in Pre- Raphaelite Photography (1972). Because of the problems involved in printing all the photos in the new book at about the same size, the reproductions now have lost some quality as compared with the earlier ones which could be printed without enlarge- ment. But for CarroUians who are not photographers, this is of little moment.
Helmut Gernsheim's Lewis Carroll, Photographer in both the original edition and the revised Dover paperback version also contain reproductions of some of the same photographs used here. Again, the small size of the books allows more faithful renditions than the large quarto can duplicate.
Mr. Ovenden's introduction covers Carroll's life in some detail, and records his difficulties and accomplishments in using the flexible collodion process for his photography. There are some genteel comments about Carroll's fixations on young girls, and some defense of his life-style. In eight pages, Mr. Ovenden manages to do very well with complex subjects, and covers a wide range of topics.
Students of Carroll must have this book, as must anyone interested in grand photography and the contributions of this master artist. But buy two copies: one to keep on the shelf, and one to cut up for the photographs you'll wish to spread about on your walls.

Isn't That Lewis Carroll? Compiled by Charles A. Miller. Trackaday, New Market, Va. 1984. Paperbound. ISBN 0-9606522-1-3. 126 p. Price: $3.95. Available from: Lake Forest College Book Store, Lake Forest, Illinois, 60045.
Publisher's description: "A guide to the most mimsy words and frabjous quotations of Lewis CiirroWs Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Throu£[h the Looking Glass, and The Hunting of the Snark."
This book will tell you, down to the part of the chapter, or the stanza of a fit where a given word is used. For instance, "galumphing" is found in the last fifth of Chapter I oi Looking Glass, and in Stanza 17 of Fit IV of the Snark. Under "map" one finds a complete rendition of the three stanzas that describe the "perfect and absolute blank." "Forty-two" has three listings while "four" has one.
The book is attractive, a lot of fiin, and might even rate a "Wow!" (Wonderland, Chapter VI, the third-fifth of the chapter).

CARROLLIAN COMPUTING:
"Alice's Adventures in a New Wonderland" is a school brochure to help children learn some basic computer techniques. The Dee brothers have become ROM and RAM. The 8-page booklet is accompanied by a large colored poster with Alice, The Rabbit and the Cheshire-puss, and a computer screen commanding "Program Me". $1 from Commodore Business Machines, 1200 Wilson Drive, West Chester, PA, 19380.
Peter Heath reports from Scotland that "a computer game C2il\ed Alice in Videoland is at present in second place in the popularity charts; it provides garbled versions of various episodes, adapted to provide opportunities for a maximum of (simulated) mayhem and violence. The Queen of Hearts figures prominently, e.g., at the Croquet Game, though whether anyone actually gets beheaded I know not, since I haven't tried the thing myself It's on a Commodore disc."
When one purchases Apple's Macintosh computer, Mark Burstein notes, part of the public domain software one gets on the MacInTalk diskette is the game "Alice" by Steve Cupps. The player in the game (Tenniel's Alice from the back) does high-speed battle against chess players on a three-dimensional chessboard.
SHOPPING GUIDE;
American Express through the Nelson Rockefeller Collection is offering four Salvador Dali lithographs from the Alice in Wonderland suite at $975 each or $3510 for the set. This new offer comprises lithographs made by an unnamed "chromiste." They have been placed on paper signed by Dali before the printing was done, then numbered. While they LOOK like signed prints, purists will reject them as ersatz, since Dali had nothing to do with making the lithos or printing them, or even numbering them. This is strictly a commercial enterprise. Caveat emptor.
Fairfield Collector's Group, Ltd, announces a series of porcelain sculptures called "Treasured Moments of Childhood Classics". There are 18 sculptures at $57.50 each and the edition is limited to 25,000 copies! Included is one of Alice with the Queen of Hearts and the Knave. 120 Brighton Road, Clifton, N.J., 07012.
The music stores keep these on the shelves labelled "Space Music", but they are still available. Crystal which consists of Tom Moore and Mike Clay and their synthesizer, has released a tape entitled "Rainbow Voyagers". Band 2 on side one is 13 minutes of "Chasing the Mad Hatter", while band 4 on side 2 is "Return to The Looking-glass." This IS a kind of Wonderland sound (no vocals), but not really Carrollian. $8.95 from Crystal, P.O. Box 24733, Tempe, Arizona 85282.
Country Notebook, 1730 Butter Road, Dover, PA, 17315, offers an Alice doll (K. 70087) for $36. (800-528-6050, ex 1160)

LaSaUe University in Philadelphia presented an exhibit of prints and illustrated books by or about Lewis Carroll and Alice, Oct. 1 1-Nov. 30, 1984. David and Maxine Schaefer visited the exhibit and found it very enjoyable, especially the Steadman material on display.
"Once on a Summer's Day," the musical by Arthur Perlman and Jeffrey Lunden which we had the good fortune to learn about from die composers at our NYU meeting last fall, ran from Jan. 17-Feb. 11, 1985 at the Ensemble Theater in New York City. It was favorably reviewed by Mel Gussow in the Jan. 20, 1985 New York Times — ^an opinion shared by Janet Jurist and confirmed by David and Maxine Schaefer who thought the musical "played free with the facts but was completely true to the spirit of Lewis CarroU."
'The Golden Age of British Photography" is an exhibition of 240 works organized by the Philadelphia Museum of Art in cooperation with the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. It includes several Carroll photographs. Its 1985 schedule includes:

John Wilcox-Baker, chairman of the Lewis Carroll Society of Daresbury, was unable to attend our Nov. 17 meeting at NYU to explain to us his plans for the establishment of "a non-profit making charitable trust to restore and develop two buildings in Daresbur)^ Village." The buildings are the Village Hall, which is "to serve as a kind of Lewis Carroll Centre, and the local church where Charles Lutwidge Dodgson's father was the Vicar." Mr. Wilcox-Baker estimates the restoration costs at £150,000 and will inform us how any LCSNA members wishing to contribute may do so.
