He is most famous for his novels Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, as well as the poem The Hunting of the Snark — all of which are considered to be classics of children's literature. He was also a talented photographer and a prolific letter-writer. Carroll was born in Cheshire, England and was educated at Christ Church, Oxford. He was a lecturer in mathematics at the college from 1855 until 1881. He wrote extensively on mathematics, logic, and recreational mathematics, and also published several books including An Elementary Treatise on Determinants (1867) and Symbolic Logic (1896). He was also the author of many pamphlets and articles on religious, educational, and social issues. In addition to his literary works, Carroll was a devoted photographer. He was a member of the Amateur Photographic Exchange Club, and took many photographs of children, as well as landscapes and architecture. His photographs have since become iconic, with many being displayed in galleries and museums around the world. Carroll was a highly imaginative man and his works are often interpreted as being filled with multiple layers of meaning and symbolism. His writings have been cited by authors such as J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis as having had a profound influence on their own works. Carroll's reputation as an author and thinker has endured since his death in 1898, and he remains one of the most beloved figures in English literature. His works continue to be read by children and adults alike, and his legacy lives on in the many adaptations of his works, from film and television to musicals and ballets. Read more
