Which magazine published 'Solitude' under the name Lewis Carroll?

The magazine that published “Solitude” under the name Lewis Carroll was The Train. The poem appeared in the magazine’s first volume in March 1856, marking the first printed use of Dodgson’s famous pseudonym.

The Train was a London monthly magazine associated with editor Edmund Yates. Yates helped Charles Lutwidge Dodgson choose a pen name for literary contributions, allowing him to distinguish his creative writing from his professional work in mathematics and at Christ Church, Oxford.

“Solitude” appeared on pages 154–155 and was followed by further Carroll contributions in The Train, including “The Path of Roses” later in 1856 and “Hiawatha’s Photographing” in 1857. The magazine therefore played an important role in launching the literary identity later attached to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. A common mix-up is The Monthly Packet, which later published some Carroll material, while Punch and The Strand Magazine were not the venue for this first appearance.
