  1. This is about erroneous advertising by rare book sellers who offer 1st editions of Lewis Carroll and Henry Holiday's "The Hunting of the Snark".

    About «Baker for Butcher on p. 83» (p. 15~16) in "The Snarkologist", Vol. 1, Fit 7, March 2024, p. 15~16, snarkology.net

    The author Alan Tannenbaum wrote: «If you see the above phrase, gently “help” the seller by forwarding this article.» So I mirrored his very helpful article in my blog: snrk.de/baker-for-butcher-on-p.

  2. Charles Darwin, born on 12 February 1809, became one of the most important Snark hunters in history.

  11. Jackie Ford, Nancy Harding, Sarah Gilmore, "Re/searching leadership: A critique in two agonies and nine fits", 2022

    That paper about leadership also is an excellent contribution to the interpretation of Lewis Carroll and Henry Holiday's "The Hunting of the Snark". I added it to my Snark reading list (snrk.de/papers-and-books/#Lead).

  12. «There was an old man of Port Grigor,
    Whose actions were noted for vigour;
    He stood on his head
    till his #waistcoat turned red,
    That eclectic old man of Port Grigor.»

    (#EdwardLear, 1872)


    «He was black in the face,
    and they scarcely could trace
    The least likeness to what he had been:
    While so great was his fright
    that his #waistcoat turned white –
    A wonderful thing to be seen!»

  15. @claireridgway -- In his #illustration (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.

  18. Does "But the slightest approach to a false pretence was never among my crimes!" mean that Lewis Carroll ironically lets the Baker confess that telling the truth was a crime which the Baker (Thomas Cranmer) never committed?

  20. 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.

    favourite line: the Captain they trusted so well 
Had only one notion for crossing the ocean, 
     And that was to tingle his bell

    ———
    text in pic below (The Bellman’s Speech) is preceded by:

    The Bellman himself they all praised to the skies--
    Such a carriage, such ease and such grace!
    Such solemnity, too! One could see he was wise,
    The moment one looked in his face!

    He had bought a large map representing the sea,
    Without the least vestige of land:
    And the crew were much pleased when they found it to be
    A map they could all understand…
    ——
    and just for the fun of it, text in image below is followed (in part) by;

    But the principal failing occurred in the sailing, 
     And the Bellman, perplexed and distressed, 
Said he had hoped, at least, when the wind blew due East, 
     That the ship would not travel due West!
