Morton Cohen (1921-2017), Pre-eminent Lewis Carroll Scholar:] Miscellaneous Papers, 1972-2006, the vast majority implicating Lewis Carroll..

Full decription on application or on my website. ABE inventory omits substantial end section. A small (ish) archive of material from MNC's London residence (he divided his time between America, England and Puerto Rico), mostly relating to Lewis Carroll (hereafter LC), beginning with a tiny fragment in the hand of the author of 'Alice in Wonderland', and including typescripts, proofs and offprints of his own work (including the edition of LC's letters), incoming correspondence, ephemera, copies of professional papers, illustrations. The collection is in good condition, with light aging and wear.Born in Alberta, Canada in 1921, Morton Norton Cohen (1921-2017) emigrated with his family to the United States at a young age. He obtained his doctorate in English from Columbia University, and went on to a professorship at the City University of New York. Among other positions, he was also a Fellow of Christ Church, Oxford, and a member of the Royal Society of Literature. In addition to his numerous works on Lewis Carroll, chief among which was a two-volume selection of 1400 of Dodgson's more than 100,000 letters (Oxford University Press, 1979), Cohen produced a landmark biography of the writer in 1995. His hunt for Lewis Carroll material led him to become acquainted with a wide range of individuals, including several women who as children had known the author of 'Alice in Wonderland' personally. Cohen was also the author of a 1960 biography of H. Rider Haggard, and an authority on Rudyard Kipling. In 1989, in recognition of the high standard of his scholarship, the Modern Language Association of America established the Morton N. Cohen Award for a Distinguished Edition of Letters. See the obituaries of Morton Norton Cohen (hereafter MNC) in the New York Times, 4 July 2017 (Richard Sandomir, 'Morton Cohen, Scholar of Lewis Carroll and His Wonderland, Dies at 96') and on the website of the Lewis Carroll Society of North America (Mark Burstein, 28 June 2017).Among the thirty-three entries below, Items 2-15 are by or about MNC; Items 16 and 17 are miscellaneous collections of incoming material; Items 18-28 are incoming material, arranged under author or subject; Items 29-32 comprise material photocopied by MNC. Much of the material is in envelopes, addressed to MNC or his 'Cherished life partner' Professor Richard Newton Swift (1924-2002).ONE: Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898), 'Lewis Carroll': Torn fragment of envelope, with bottom right-hand corner of the cover, carrying a part of the address in his autograph, including the word 'Dublin'. It seems appropriate, considering the fact that MNC devoted much of his life to LC's correspondence, to begin the present description with this evocative item.TWO: MNC's edition of LC's letters: page proofs and other material, lettered A to GA and B: Two large envelopes, the first annotated 'India paper proofs / unmarked' and the second 'Vol II / Extra p proofs'. The first envelope contains loose page proofs on India paper of what seems to be the entire text of vol.1 (prelims and pp.1-614), with duplicates of a few pages, some of them with emendations. Crude photocopies of the illustrations are laid down throughout and the pages of 'Acknowledgements' are left blank (see next). The second volume contains loose page proofs on India paper of what seems to be the main text of the volume (pp.617-1166), without appendix, index or illustrations.C: A third (smaller) envelope with a second set of India paper page proofs for the second volume, with a few pencil corrections.D: Text of the 'Acknowledgements' of the first volume. 7pp, A4. With a few emendations in pencil and ink.E: A set of the dustwrappers for the two volumes.F: Oxford University Press press release for MNC's edition of the letters. 2pp, folio, on blue paper, nice-produced with illustrations.G: Two mimeographed circulars appealing for information regarding unsolved puzzles, quotations and mathematical problems in MNC's edition of LC letters.

Two-page 'Contents' in manuscript.FOUR: MNC: 'Lewis Carroll, Photographer of Children: Four Nude Studies', 1979Large envelope marked by MNC: 'Rough copy / 1) Ill[ustrated] Lond[on] News / Nude photos / 2) # of CLD letters to Jabb[erwocky].'A: Heavily-revised typescript of a a paper by MNC discussing the number of letters LC wrote, in response to a published letter by Denis Crutch. 8pp, foolscap 8vo, with extra material interpolated on square of paper. Heavily-revised in red and black ink. Also present is a typewritten transcript of Crutch's letter to the editor of 'Jabberwocky'cutting the estimated number of LC letters from 98,000 to 50,000 ('a surprising total for all that'), and a TLS to MNC from Dr Selwyn H. Goodacre of Burton-on-Trent, 12 July 1978, senting him, as editor of 'Jabberwocky', the transcript of Crutch's letter, and discussing its significance, concluding: 'I only say this, as I note that in the preface to the Letters, you make the same point as Luchinsky - quite forcibly. If you prefer not to say anything in print at this stage, that's fine also, but I thought I ought to give you the opportunity.'B: Typescripts and photocopies of text for MNC's 'Lewis Carroll, Photographer of Children', much of it cut up for rearrangement, with slips and strips of paper of varying proportions. Prominent among the material is a typescript of MNC's essay, on ten pages, foolscap 8vo, with interpolations on slips and squares of paper pasted in. Also a photocopy of a typeset later version of the essay, with material on other pieces of paper interpolated, and pencil revisions.

With a few autograph emendations and autograph list of '3 more anecdotes'. An interesting account, including, 'Don't you ever get tired of working on Lewis Carroll? friends ask And what about Lewis Carroll and those young girls he adored and photographed? Wasn't he a pedophile. Well, when I began to work on Carroll, I wondered about that myself, and, frankly, I had no idea what would turn up once I really started robing into the man's life. As objective as I tried to be, I was nevertheless suspicious. But, slowly, over the 35 years that I have worked with the man, he made me realize that he was one of the most decent human beings that ever walked the face of the earth. As the years passed and I worked away at my various books about Louis Carroll, my respect for him increased steadily. / Sure enough, we have no idea what went on deep in caverns of Carroll's psyche, and I wonder whether he even knew, but I would stake my life and reputation on his integrity: he simply never did anything untoward.'SEVEN: MNC: article on 'An American Alice ' (1982)Draft typescript of article titled (in pencil by MNC) 'An American Alice by Morton N.
