This book presents a catalogue of Dodgson's personal library, with attention to every book the author is known to have owned or read. Lewis Carroll Among his Books showcases the vast array of Dodgson's academic and personal interests including homoeopathic medicine, spiritualism, astrology, evolution, women's rights, children's literature, linguistics, theology, eugenics, and many more. Entries describe each book, its edition where known, its contents, its importance, and any special relevance it might have had to Dodgson. This volume not only provides a plethora of fodder for further studies on Dodgson, but will aid research into the late Victorian world, a time of unprecedented investigation, experimentation, invention and imagination.
