An accomplished mathematician and logician, Carroll taught at Christ Church, Oxford, where his pioneering spirit in both literature and mathematics left a profound legacy. He is best known for ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’ (1865), a seminal work that has shaped children’s literature, and its less-known precursor, ‘Alice’s Adventures Under Ground’ (1886). Carroll’s writing is characterized by its witty wordplay, surreal characters, and subversion of logic, which has intrigued readers and critics alike. His creative genius produced a narrative structure that reflected his mathematical interests, as well as a penchant for satirizing social conventions of his time.
