作者简介
Lewis Carroll, born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson on January 27, 1832, in Daresbury, Cheshire, England, was an author, mathematician, and logician who left an indelible mark on the literary world. Carroll is best known for his enduring works of children's literature, specifically 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' (1865) and its sequel 'Through the Looking-Glass' (1871). He blended elements of fantasy, nonsense, and wordplay to create unique narratives that appealed to both children and adults. His mastery over language and poetic form is evident in 'The Hunting of the Snark' (1876), a narrative nonsense poem that follows an 'impossible voyage of an improbable crew to find an inconceivable creature'. The poem explores themes of quest and the absurd, featuring a blend of humor and melancholy, and is exemplary of Carroll's distinctive style that often challenges logic and embraces the fantastical. Carroll's contribution to literature extends beyond entertainment, also influencing the study of semantics and linguistics. Despite the whimsical nature of his prose, Carroll was a serious scholar, teaching mathematics at Christ Church, Oxford. He engaged with symbolic logic and puzzle design, which is reflected in the complexity and playfulness of his literary works. Carroll's legacy lives on, inspiring countless adaptations, interpretations, and academic studies, solidifying him as an extraordinary figure in British literature and culture. His work has transcended the Victorian era, captivating readers and scholars over successive generations.
