Letters to the Queen
Lindsay Nelson
2010
An avid epistolarian, Charles Dodgson is known to have written more than 100,000 letters to friends, colleagues, and admirers. Nelson’s work is inspired by Dodgson’s output, as well as her love of letters and pleasure of reading other people’s mail. In addition, she expresses a desire to understand and empathize with the Queen of Hearts—and what better way to do that than to read the letters she received? Who in Wonderland would have written to the Queen, any why?
