Charles L. Dodgson's publications on political subjects offer a very different view of Lewis Carroll, the man made famous by his ""Alice"" books. Better known for whimsical and nonsense writings, Dodgson wrote on the entire spectrum of voting theory, applying it to issues of local governance at Christ Church College in the University of Oxford, where he was employed all of his professional life-mainly as Mathematical Lecturer-and to issues of national politics. Yet this work remained largely unknown at his death. This third volume of a planned series of six is a comprehensive account of Dodgson's publications on voting theory. ... Read more

Reviews for The Pamphlets of Lewis Carroll: The Political Pamphlets and Letters of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson and Related Pieces: A Mathema (Papa & Noelle Stories) (v. 3)
In The Principles of Parliamentary Representation (1st ed. 1884, 2nd ed. 1885) Lewis Carroll presents the longest connected chain of reasoning in political science, apart from that given by Thomas Hobbes.... The booklet incorporates something of Carroll's genius.-Duncan Black, Jabberwocky, 1970
