Beschreibung

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) was born in 1832. Already reading <i>The Pilgrim's Progress </i>at the age of seven, his exceptional intelligence was apparent from the outset - his Mathematics master at Rugby wrote of him, 'I have not had a more promising boy at his age' - and he went on to be awarded a double first class honours in Maths at Christ Church, Oxford. Despite going on to hold a lectureship at Christ Church for twenty-six years, however, Dodgson found it difficult to apply himself to academic work, and it is for his extraordinary literary works that he is known. His two <i>Alice</i>books were originally composed for the daughter of the dean of his college, Alice Liddell, and are the most famous and enduring of his works along with <i>The Hunting of the Snark</i>, a book of nonsense verse. He also wrote works on logic and satirical pamphlets on Oxford politics, and became a pioneering amateur portrait photographer, specializing in Victorian celebrities and children. He died in 1898, at the age of sixty-five.
