  1. Did Archbishop Cranmer keep his secret wife in a ventilated chest?
    Well, yes, according to his Catholic detractors!
    But was there any truth in their claims, and where does the story come from?

  4. @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.

  5. 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?

  6. 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.

  8. 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" (thecarrollian.org.uk/cgi-bin/a, Issue 31, 2018).

    Karen Gardiner's paper is one of the best articles I ever read about #TheHuntingOfTheSnark. Regrettably, lewiscarrollsociety.org.uk/ didn't make it available online yet.
