»Lewis Carroll, blogger

The Library of Congress have posted Lewis Carroll's collection of clippings.

The historian Edward Wakeling contribues an essay on the significance of this scrapbook:

Scrapbooks were, without doubt, a source of anecdotes and ideas that Carroll could weave into his conversations and literary works. It is fortunate that this scrapbook has survived intact, and in the state that Lewis Carroll left it. It is incomplete as there still are loose items waiting to be pasted in. The scrapbook was put aside sometime in the 1870s ...

The clippings, pasted over 70-some leaves, include poetry, obituaries, notes on linguistics, and Victorian ephemera.
