Om forfatteren
Lewis Carroll, the pen name for Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was an English writer, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon, and photographer, renowned for his contribution to children's literature. Born on January 27, 1832, in Daresbury, Cheshire, Carroll was the eldest of eleven children. He attended Richmond Grammar School and later Christ Church, Oxford, where he graduated with first-class honors in Mathematics. Although Carroll is most famously known for 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' (1865) and its sequel 'Through the Looking-Glass' (1871), he also authored a number of poetic works. 'Three Sunsets and Other Poems,' published posthumously in 1898, is a collection that showcases his versatility in poetic form and his penchant for thematic elements of whimsy, melancholy, and introspection. Carroll's literary style is marked by his imaginative narratives, playful use of language, and underlying logical structures, reflecting his academic background in mathematics. His mastery in creating fantasy worlds with logical underpinnings has not only enchanted young readers but has also intrigued adults, inviting various literary and psychoanalytic interpretations. Carroll's contributions to literature have left an indelible mark upon the genre of literary nonsense, inspiring generations of writers and readers alike. His works remain widely read and have been translated into numerous languages, affirming his status as one of the most cherished authors in English literature.
