The Rectory Umbrella And Mischmasch

Description

These two early manuscript books by Lewis Carroll originated as a family effort but quickly became the young man's independent project. The Rectory Umbrella and Mischmasch are a potpourri revealing and foreshadowing the interests and talents of the most accomplished nonsense writer in English. In the two miscellanies the young Carroll's meticulous wit punctures and satirizes numerous conventions of his day: poetry, criticism, music, painting, history, and fiction are all defrocked in turn. Although the two "magazines" provide a significant introduction to Carroll's work, they are little known and, until this edition, have been almost inaccessible to devotees of humorous writing.
