Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English author, poet, mathematician, photographer, and Anglican deacon who lived from 1832 to 1898. He was born in Daresbury, Cheshire, and spent his later years in Guildford, Surrey. Carroll is best remembered for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, published in 1865, and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, published in 1871. Both works are considered among the most important examples of Victorian literature. He was particularly noted for his facility with wordplay, logic, and fantasy, creating narratives that combined imaginative storytelling with mathematical concepts. Beyond the Alice books, Carroll wrote poems including Jabberwocky and The Hunting of the Snark, both classified as literary nonsense. The fantastical logic found in Alice's wonderland reflects Carroll's published work on mathematical logic, demonstrating how his interests in mathematics and creative writing informed each other.
