Professor Alison Halsall (York University, Toronto) will share recent research on Lewis Carroll and illustrator John Tenniel.

Professor Halsall, 2026-7 Lewis Carroll Visiting Fellow, will share recent research on how Lewis Carroll and illustrator John Tenniel developed foundational visual storytelling techniques together, based on Professor Halsall's intersecting interests in visual narrative, childhood readership, and archival study.

The Lewis Carroll Visiting Fellowship is offered jointly by the Bodleian Libraries and Christ Church, Oxford. The Visiting Fellowship supports researchers from outside Oxford whose work engages with Lewis Carroll and his interests, including children’s literature, literary illustration, 19th-century photography, Oxford history, and the cultural impact of mathematics.

Professor Halsall's talk will be followed by refreshments.

Free, but booking is essential.

We regret that there is no step-free access to the Upper Library.
