About Lewis Carroll
English author, poet, mathematician, photographer, and Anglican deacon
Lewis Carroll was the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, an English writer, poet, mathematician, photographer, and Anglican deacon. He is best known for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, both central works of Victorian literature. His writing is marked by wordplay, logic, and fantasy, and he is also remembered for the poems Jabberwocky and The Hunting of the Snark. Those works are often described as literary nonsense, and some of the odd logic in Alice reflects his published interests in mathematical logic.
