Description

Explore the theatrical side of one of literature's most famous figures. Lewis Carroll and the Victorian Stage provides a deep look into the lifelong passion for the theatre held by the author of the Alice books. While known as a mathematician, Anglican cleric, and pioneer photographer, Carroll also maintained a constant interest in the performing arts. This book is the first to examine his fascination with all things theatrical. It covers his early interests in childhood charades and marionettes, his active role in the dramatization of Alice, and his views on the debate regarding child actors. Readers will also learn about his friendships with leading players of the era, specifically Ellen Terry. By studying these connections, this work offers a way to understand the complex and enigmatic personality of Lewis Carroll through the lens of the Victorian stage. It is an essential read for scholars and fans of nineteenth-century history and performing arts.
