In "The Hunting of the Snark", Lewis Carroll (Reverend C.L. Dodgson) might have used the "Baker" as a reference to Thomas Cranmer.
In line 241 the Baker says: "You may charge me with murder..." I think that Carroll had mixed feelings about Cranmer.

1864-02-08: To #RichardBethell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Bethell,_1st_Baron_Westbury), the #ThirtyNineArticles were "meagre and disjointed extracts" from #ThomasCranmer's #FortyTwoArticles (https://snrk.de/meagre-and-disjointed-extracts/). #LewisCarroll (the Deacon #Dodgson) objected especially to the 42th article in the Forty-TwoArticles.

My most important Snark finding (#ReligSnark):
In his #illustration (https://snrk.de/snarkhunt/#561) to fit#8 of #LewisCarroll's #tragicomedy "#TheHuntingOfTheSnark" (1876), #HenryHoliday hid a pictorial reference to the print "Faiths Victorie in Romes Crueltie" (published by Thomas Jenner, c. 1630). The attached image shows
(1) the print (containing a depiction of #ThomasCranmer's burning) with a comment from a curator of the #BritishMuseum and
(2) my image comparison. -
Left side: Two details from the illustration by #HenryHoliday to the chapter "The Hunting" in #LewisCarroll’s "#TheHuntingOfTheSnark" (woodcut by #JosephSwain)
Right side: The 1674 print depicting William III (#WilliamOfOrange) as well as the allegorical figures for “religion” and “liberty”, a “liberum belgium” motive.
Henry Holiday integrated three elements from that 1674 print into his illustration (1876). "Liberty" became "Hope" and "Religion" became "Care" (https://snrk.de/page_eagle-and-star/).

The last paragraphs of "Life, Eternity,and Everything: Hidden #Eschatology in the Works of Lewis Carroll", pp. 25-41 by Karen Gardiner in "The Carrollian" (http://thecarrollian.org.uk/cgi-bin/abc.pl?TYPE=Author&ID=Gardiner,%20Karen&BACK=B, Issue 31, 2018).
Karen Gardiner's paper is one of the best articles I ever read about #TheHuntingOfTheSnark. Regrettably, https://lewiscarrollsociety.org.uk/ didn't make it available online yet.
