Lewis Carroll was the pen name for Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832–1898), best known for authoring Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass. Carroll also wrote the poems The Hunting of the Snark and Jabberwocky. In addition to writing these stories and poems under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, Charles Dodgson also was a gifted photographer and a talented mathematician.
Troubled by feelings of guilt in his youth, Charles Dodgson ultimately became a Christian preacher, following the example set by his father, a gifted mathematician who gave up intellectual career to become a country parson.
