Author of the enduringly popular Alice books, mathematician,
Anglican cleric, and pioneer photographer, Lewis Carroll maintained
a lifelong enthusiasm for the theatre. Lewis Carroll and the
Victorian Stage is the first book to focus on Carroll's
irresistible fascination with all things theatrical, from childhood
charades and marionettes to active involvement in the dramatisation
of Alice, influential contributions to the debate on child actors,
and the friendship of leading players, especially Ellen Terry. As
well as being a key to his complex and enigmatic personality,
Carroll's interest in the theatre provides a vivid account of a
remarkable era on the stage that encompassed Charles Kean's
Shakespeare revivals, the comic genius of Frederick Robson, the
heyday of pantomime, Gilbert and Sullivan, opera bouffe, the Terry
sisters, Henry Irving, and favourite playwrights Tom Taylor, H. A.
Jones, and J. M. Barrie. With attention to the complex motives that
compelled Carroll to attend stage performances, Foulkes examines
the incomparable record of over forty years as a playgoer that
Carroll left for posterity.
