A Partial Vindication of Carroll's Hatter: Head Games and Ambiguity in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Abstract
What?!! When Alice joins the Hatter and the March Hare at the famous Tea-party table, could it be Alice who's rude? And might the Hatter be sane, even helpful?

He also proposes Alice may have a scalp disease that would definitely put you off your tea!
