Lewis Carroll

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832–1898), known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English author, mathematician, logician, photographer, and Anglican deacon. He is most famous for his works 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' and its sequel 'Through the Looking-Glass,' which are considered seminal examples of Victorian literature. Carroll was known for his wordplay, logic, and fantasy, and his poems 'Jabberwocky' and 'The Hunting of the Snark' are classified as literary nonsense. His nonsensical logic in Wonderland is also reflected in his published work on mathematical logic. He was a lecturer in mathematics at Christ Church, Oxford, and adopted the pen name Lewis Carroll to maintain his privacy. His storytelling talent emerged from his friendship with the Liddell family, particularly Alice Liddell, who inspired his most famous works.
