The character of the Mad Hatter in Lewis Carroll's book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" may have been inspired by the phrase "mad as a hatter," which was commonly used in the 19th century to describe hat makers who suffered from mercury poisoning. The use of mercury in the hat-making process led to symptoms such as tremors, confusion, and mood swings, which could be associated with madness. Carroll likely incorporated this real-world phenomenon into his whimsical and nonsensical character, the Mad Hatter, adding depth and complexity to the character's eccentric behavior.
Why did beaver hat makers go mad?
At one time hatters (the correct word for hat makers) used mercury in preparing the skins used to make hats and to get sharp corners in the hats they chewed on the skins. This caused ingestion of the mercury, which is a neurotoxin. They eventually developed mercury poisoning, which affected their brains causing a form of chemically induced madness.
How did the Mad Hatter get his name?
The phrase 'as mad as a hatter' was well known in Victorian times, as many hatters suffered from mercury poisoning which caused symptoms resembling 'madness'. The Mad Hatter was named after this saying - but possibly not directly - Martin Gardner points out in his Annotated Alice, that it is generally considered that the Hatter was inspired by "Theophilus Carter, a furniture dealer near Oxford. Carter was known in the area as the Mad Hatter, partly because he always wore a top hat and partly because of his eccentric ideas." (From The Annotated Alice by Martin Gardner).So the Mad Hatter got his name from Theophilus Carter, who in turn, got his nick-name from a well known saying.
