Was Lewis Carroll the first person to coin the phrase Mad March Hare?

March madness, originally, before any connections with sport or the like, was associated with the increased activity of animals and perhaps humans during the spring season. Animals are coming out of habitation, looking for a mate and often display very bizarre courtship displays. The most common and striking of these is the Mad March Hare’. The bizarre behaviour of the hare in spring time, standing up on hind legs carrying out boxing’ displays captured the imaginations of writers and inspired many folklore tales. It is this image which is commonly connected with madness in March.
