Henry Liddell (lÄd'Él) (1811â1898) was an English teacher and classics scholar. He complied the Greek-English Lexicon (1843) with Robert Scott, which established the standard for over a century in this field. He also served as headmaster (1846â55) of the Westminster School and then as dean (1855â91) of Christ Church, a college in Oxford University.
Liddell was at Christ Church the same time as Lewis Carroll, who wrote Alice's Adventures in Wonderland for Liddell's daughter, Alice Liddell.
