Autorenporträt
Lewis Carroll, born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson on January 27, 1832, in Daresbury, Cheshire, was a multifaceted Victorian-era scholar. A gifted mathematician, he studied and later lectured at Christ Church, Oxford, where he developed a deep interest in logic, geometry, and wordplay. Carroll's love for puzzles and logic was evident in his literary works, most notably in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, which combined his mathematical precision with imaginative storytelling. His ability to blend fantasy with intricate wordplay has made these works timeless classics.Carroll's relationship with the Liddell family, especially young Alice Liddell, profoundly influenced his writing. It was during a boating trip with the Liddells in 1862 that Carroll first conceived the story that would become Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Encouraged by Alice to write down the tale, Carroll expanded it into a full-length novel, published in 1865. The book's success led to a sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, further cementing Carroll's reputation as a master of children's literature. His works are characterized by their whimsical characters, nonsensical language, and underlying themes of logic and absurdity.Beyond his literary achievements, Carroll was also an accomplished photographer, a pursuit that allowed him to capture the Victorian world around him, particularly portraits of children. His contributions to photography, along with his mathematical publications, add to his legacy as a Renaissance man of the Victorian era. Carroll's works have inspired countless adaptations and studies, ensuring his place as one of the most enduring figures in English literature. Despite his complex and often private life, Carroll's influence on both literature and the broader cultural landscape remains profound.
