Join us to celebrate the 150thanniversary of Lewis Carroll's poem 'The Hunting of the Snark'.
In the article 'Alice on the Stage' (1887), Lewis Carroll recalled that on 18 July 1874, while staying in Guildford: 'I was walking on a hillside, alone, one bright summer day, when suddenly there came into my head one line of verse – one solitary line – "For the Snark was a Boojum, you see." That line became the conclusion of his wonderfully nonsensical poem 'The Hunting of the Snark'.
We'll have short talks revealing the history behind the poem and its author, and a chance to discover more about the Lewis Carroll collections held at Surrey History Centre. Featuring:
- Isabel Sullivan, Senior Archivist Surrey Heritage, 'The Dodgsons at Home: finding Lewis Carroll in his family archive'
- Dayna Nuhn, editor of 'The Snarkologist', Lewis Carroll Society of North America, 'Just the place for a Snark!'
