Lewis Carroll

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898), known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English author, mathematician, logician, and photographer. He is most famous for "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass," which are considered seminal works of Victorian literature. Carroll's writing is characterized by wordplay, logic, and fantasy, often in the genre of literary nonsense. He was also a mathematician who worked in geometry, linear algebra, and mathematical logic, and he developed new ideas in voting theory. He was ordained as an Anglican deacon but never preached. Carroll also pursued photography, often focusing on children as subjects.
