ABOUT CARROLL
Lewis Carroll: The Dreamer Behind the Looking Glass
Lewis Carroll, baptized as Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was born in 1832, in Daresbury, Cheshire, England. While the world came to revere him as the masterful author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
and Through the Looking-Glass,
few truly knew the enigmatic genius that resided behind those mesmerizing tales.
Childhood & The Gift of Imagination:
Born into a close-knit family with 11 siblings, Carroll's childhood was a tapestry of dreams, fables, and play-acting. Perhaps it was the companionship of his siblings or the isolated beauty of Daresbury's pastoral landscapes that nurtured his vivid imagination. By the age of 12, he had already begun spinning tales and penning poetry, a precocious sign of his future literary prowess.
The Mathematical Mind:
After receiving a classical education at Rugby and later at Christ Church, Oxford, Carroll unexpectedly pivoted towards mathematics. It was as if he existed in two parallel worlds – one of logical reasoning and the other of whimsical fancy. He authored several mathematical papers under his real name, Charles Dodgson, and was respected in the academic community for his contributions.
Innocence & Inspiration:
Carroll's friendship with Alice Liddell, the young daughter of the Dean of Christ Church, was a pivotal relationship in his life. It was on a golden afternoon, while rowing with the Liddells, that he conjured up the tale of a curious girl named Alice falling down a rabbit hole. Alice's insistent demand for a tangible recounting of this story led to the creation of one of the world's most beloved children's tales.
The Enigma & The Lens:
Beyond his literary works, Carroll had an intricate relationship with photography. He captured hauntingly beautiful images, many of them featuring children in various states of candidness or theatricality. These photographs, simultaneously praised and critiqued, add layers of complexity to Carroll's persona,
