Author's Biography


Lewis Carroll is the pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. That name was invented prepared by one of those games characteristic of the author. It comes from the transposition and romanization of their names: Lutwidge = Lodovicus = Lewis; Charles = Charolus = Carrol.                                                                        
He was born on January 27, 1832 - Guildford, Surrey, January 14, 1898)
In 1885, at age 23, was appointed professor of mathematics at Christ Church College, University of Oxforfd.
The math was his true profession, Alice in Wonderland was a fun career in Carrol.
It originated in an oral improvisation designed to entertain little girls: Alice Liddell and her two sisters, daughters of a colleague.
Carrol, or the Reverend Dodgson (he was ordained deacon, but just officiated as a clergyman), appears in Alice in Wonderland, "the Dodo" (a slight reference to his tendency to stutter, which made the submission as Do… do Dodgson).
He never married, but loved the girls. It was at the insistence of Alicia herself she decided to start writing the story and then publish it in 1865. And although he had never drawn, the author accompanied the issue with their own illustrations.
The title of the manuscript was Alice `s adventures underground, but when it was published and was titled Alice in Wonderland. Along with his then Alice Through the Looking Glass, the work has had universal success, becoming one of the most widely read books in the world.
It has been translated into over 40 languages.
