Short biography
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, English mathematician and author, son of the Rev. Charles Dodgson, vicar of Daresbury, Cheshire, was born in that village on the 27th of January, 1832. The literary life of "Lewis Carroll" became familiar to a wide circle of readers, but the private life of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was retired and practically uneventful. After four years' schooling at Rugby, Dodgson matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford, in May 1850; and from 1852 till 1870 held a studentship there. He took a first class in the final mathematical school in 1854, and the following year was appointed mathematical lecturer at Christ Church, a post he continued to fill till 1881. In 1861 he was ordained deacon, but he never took priest's orders, possibly because of a stammer which prevented reading aloud. His earliest publications were exclusively mathematical; but late in the year 1865 he published, under the pseudonym of "Lewis Carroll," _Alice's Adventures in Wonderland_, a work that was the outcome of his keen sympathy with the imagination of children and their sense of fun. Its success was immediate, and the name of "Lewis Carroll" has ever since been a household word. Mr. Dodgson was always very fond of children, and it was an open secret the the original of "Alice" was a daughter of Dean Liddell. _Alice_ was followed by other titles in the "Lewis Carroll" series. While "Lewis Carroll" was delighting children of all ages, C. L. Dodgson periodically published mathematical works, including _Euclid and his Modern Rivals_, the work on which his reputation as a mathematician largely rests. Throughout this dual existence Mr. Dodgson pertinaciously refused to acquiesce in being publicly identified with "Lewis Carroll." Though the fact of his authorship of the "Alice" books was well known, he invariably stated, when occasion called for such a pronouncement, that "Mr. Dodgson neither claimed nor acknowledged any connexion with the books not published under his name." He died at Guildford, on the 14th of January 1898.
