Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll was the pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832–1898), an English writer, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon, and photographer. Dodgson was a Lecturer in Mathematics at Christ Church, Oxford, for many years.

He is universally celebrated for his two major works of children's literature: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. Carroll's writing is highly distinctive, characterized by its playful use of logic, wordplay, and satire, creating the genre of literary nonsense. His works are not only beloved children's stories but have also been deeply influential in mathematics, logic, and philosophy due to their clever subversion of conventional reasoning.
