42
I do not want to overload the article with my "original research", so I just comment on 42 just in this discussion page: Often there is the assumption, that the 42 may relate to Carroll's age when he wrote the snark. But I think, that the Snark to a large part takes issue at legitimate as well as fanatic religious conflicts in the history of humans. Thus, Carroll may refer to Thomas Cranmer's Fourty-Two Articles (1552) and the fate of Cranmer: see http://thecarrollforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=carrollphil&thread=29&page=1#877 (and the following postings in that forum) as well as more info --Goetzkluge 16:06, 27 February 2010 (GMT)
Holiday's Puzzles in The Hunting of the Snark
Puzzles
In User:Goetzkluge as well as in http://holiday.snrk.de/ you will find the details. I do not want to "dominate" the Snark article with this. (A few "Carrollians" do not like my "Puzzle"-Theory, others appreciate it.)
Voting
http://lc.snrk.de/ would lead you to an Amazon.com gallery. I am interested, how the images on Holiday's are perceived by others. Amazon customers can vote (like/dislike) for or against the images. This would help me to see, which image most clearly shows the beholders how Holiday worked. --Goetzkluge 07:25, 27 March 2010 (GMT)
Literature and Links
From an artists point of view, John Tufail's The Illuminated Snark (2004) is very recommendable. I do not know any earlier publication on the significance of the illustrations to The Hunting of the Snark.
