COLL

1

Dates of creation:

1967-1997

Extent:

3 boxes (boxes 5-7 in the Brabant Lewis Carroll Manuscript Collection).

Scope and content:

Files consist of correspondence and purchase records related to Joseph Brabant’s collection activities and Lewis Carroll scholarship.

Notes: Files are arranged alphabetically by correspondent’s name; the materials from each correspondent are arranged chronologically.

Prolific correspondents appear in separate folders. “Encl.osures” refer to items referred to as being originally sent with the

correspondence but no longer contained within the files. Where additional matter (e.g. newspaper clippings, lists) is extant within the

correspondence, it is designated as “attached.” Wherever possible, call numbers from the Brabant Collection are provided for receipts

of Brabant’s acquisitions. In some cases, books or periodicals referred to are available elsewhere in the University of Toronto system,

but only Brabant items are listed in the finding aid. Cross references are occasionally provided between correspondence sets where

references might otherwise be unclear (e.g. if a colleague is referred to by first name only).

Some major correspondents include:

The Lewis Carroll Society (“LCS”) (6:15); The Lewis Carroll Society of North America (“LCSNA”) (6:16); Joel Birenbaum,

bookseller, LCSNA (5:8); Sandor Burstein, MD, collector, LCSNA (5:15); Professor Morton Cohen, collector, ed. The Letters of

Lewis Carroll, LCSNA (5:17); Denis Crutch, bookseller and Lewis Carroll bibliographer, LCS (5:20); Selwyn Goodacre, MD,

collector, writer, ed. of Jabberwocky, LCS (6:3); Professor August Imholtz, collector, LCSNA (6:11); Janet Jurist, bibliographic

researcher, LCSNA (6:12); Charles and Stephanie Lovett, booksellers, LCSNA (6:17); Stanley Marx, collector, ed. of Knight Letter,

bookseller, LCSNA (6:20); Justin Schiller, bookseller and collector (7:8); Byron Sewell, collector, illustrator, publisher and

bibliographer (7:12); Edward Wakeling, teacher, writer, and collector, LCS (7:17).

Dates are standardized to appear in the form day/month/year.

Shorthand notations are used throughout the finding aid and are to be translated as follows:

LC. I had already gotten the book collecting out of

my life, as a result of the divorce, but I was still

committed to getting Muchness done. I have come

to realize that LC was really a god in my life. I

lavished the best of my spare time, money and

Mayhew about his suggestions of taking

photographs of her daughter without clothes on.

The juxtaposition is incongruous. The audience, I

think, were embarrassed….However, I am sure it

will make no difference to Carroll and his

reputation.

“Just before I went to see the play, I had a frantic

‘phone call from LC’s great niece (Philip’s sister).

She had read the media articles and was alarmed.

She wanted to know if we could get the play

stopped. She thought it would defame Carroll’s

character. I reassured her that nothing could do

that; Carroll was too established as a great writer of

children’s books, and nothing would stop people

reading Alice.”
