About the author

Lewis Carroll

1832–1898 · Victorian

Lewis Carroll was the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832–1898), mathematician, logician and Anglican deacon, who taught at Christ Church, Oxford, for most of his adult life. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) grew from a story told to the daughters of the college dean on a boating trip in 1862; Through the Looking-Glass followed in 1871, and The Hunting of the Snark in 1876. Under his own name he published works on mathematics and logic. He was also an accomplished early photographer.
