About the author
Lewis Carroll, the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898), was a prolific writer, mathematician, and logician. Born in Daresbury, Cheshire, England, Carroll is most famously known for his contributions to children's literature, particularly through his masterpiece 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' and its sequel 'Through the Looking-Glass.' His inventive use of wordplay, logic, and fantasy has fascinated readers for over a century and remains influential in both literary and popular culture. Carroll's work in 'The Collected Short Stories' exhibits his breadth as a storyteller and his ability to infuse narrative with a unique blend of whimsy and complexity. Although best recognized for his narratives set in fantastical realms, Carroll also published works of a serious nature under his real name, notably on mathematical subjects. His literary style often blurred the lines between the nonsensical and the profound, challenging readers to find meaning amidst the apparent chaos of his fictional worlds. Despite his acclaim as an author, Carroll's personal life was marked by a quiet academic career at Christ Church, Oxford, where he lectured in mathematics. Carroll's legacy endures, contributing substantially to the genre of literary nonsense and the canon of Victorian literature, continuing to captivate audiences with his enchanting and innovative storytelling.
