This 1958 study by Derek Hudson explores the early life of Lewis Carroll, the origins of his Alice books, his later verse, and his two-volume tale of the fairy siblings Sylvie and Bruno.
waltzmn: Derek Hudson's was the first "modern" biography of Lewis Carroll/Charles Dodgson, published after the partial publication of Dodgson's diaries -- but only the partial publication. Cohen has seen the full diaries, and is almost certainly the best of the recent studies.… (altro)

The problem with biographies of Lewis Carroll is always the same: Not enough source information.
This problem was particularly acute at the time Derek Hudson wrote. The people who remembered Charles Dodgson were almost all dead -- Lorena Liddell Skene in 1930, Alice Liddell Hargreaves in 1934, and their sister Rhoda in 1949; Gertrude Chataway in 1951; of Dodgson's closest friends, only Isa Bowman Barclay still lived (she died in 1958).
Hudson did have access to the first edition of Dodgson's diaries, published by Roger Lancelyn Green -- but we now know that these were doctored. It truly made his task difficult.
On the whole, I think Hudson did as well as he could with what he had. And the book is readable. But the more recent biographies, such as those of Clark, Cohen, and Woolf, which are based on the real diaries (insofar as they survive) are far more useful. ( )

Author's Note -- "Until the publication of Dodgson's Diary takes place, there is no real call for a new Life of Lewis Carroll", wrote Falconer Madan, at the outset of his Handbook of the Literature of the Rev. C. L. Dodgson.
Chapter One, The End and the Beginning -- The eighteen large pages of The Times of January 15th, 1898, opened with an opulent crackle.
