About Lewis Carroll
In 1862, during a boating trip on the Thames with ten-year-old Alice Liddell and her sisters, a mathematical lecturer named Charles Dodgson began improvising a story about a girl who tumbles down a rabbit hole, spinning logic into nonsense, arithmetic into absurdity, and Victorian propriety into playful subversion. That tale, refined over two years and published as 'Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland', wasn’t mere whimsy: it embedded rigorous critiques of Euclidean geometry, symbolic algebra, and Victorian pedagogy, disguised as riddles, puns, and croquet played with flamingos. His mathematical papers on determinants and voting theory coexisted with limericks about quarks and nonsense syllables that anticipated linguistic philosophy decades before Wittgenstein. He didn’t write for children *or* scholars, he wrote for the mind caught mid-leap between certainty and curiosity, where 'curiouser and curiouser' was both exclamation and method.
