Charles L. Dodgson
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (27 January 1832 14 January 1898), better known
by the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, was an English author, mathematician,
logician, Anglican deacon and photographer. His most famous writings are Alice's
Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the LookingGlass, as well as
the poems "The Hunting of the Snark" and "Jabberwocky", all examples of the
genre of literary nonsense. He is noted for his facility at word play, logic, and
fantasy, and there are societies dedicated to the enjoyment and promotion of his
works and the investigation of his life in many parts of the world, including the
United Kingdom, Japan, the United States, and New Zealand.
Family
Dodgson's family was predominantly northern English, with Irish connections.
Conservative and High Church Anglican, most of Dodgson's ancestors were army
officers or Church of England clergymen. His greatgrandfather, also Charles
Dodgson, had risen through the ranks of the church to become a bishop. His
grandfather, another Charles, had been an army captain, killed in action in Ireland
in 1803, when his two sons were hardly more than babies. His mother's name was
Frances Jane Lutwidge.
