Re Dr.Fet's observations on Dodgson/LC
Which reminds me that Francis Huxley,
following a family tradition, wrote a book- length study of the
problem, 'The Raven and the Desk,' Thames & Hudson 1976, close
study of which affords one many a salutary caution against over-reading
what authors, especially brilliant ones, write, as if every divined
association a sequence of words may conjure up were necessarily part
and parcel of authorial intentions, and not, in good part, simply the
ingenious outcome of ingenuous obsessions on the part of the reader.
