Lewis Carroll
Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (27 January 1832 – 14 January 1898),
better known by the pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English author,
mathematician, logician, Anglican clergyman and photographer.
His most famous writings are Alice's
Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass as well
as the poems "The Hunting of the Snark" and "Jabberwocky", all considered
to be within the genre of literary nonsense.
His facility at word play, logic, and
fantasy has delighted audiences ranging from children to the literary
elite, and beyond this his work has become embedded deeply in modern
culture, directly influencing many artists.
