Lewis carroll's introduction

Lewis carroll (1832- 1898), formerly known as charles dodgson, is an English mathematician, logician, fairy tale writer, priest and photographer. Shy by nature, suffering from severe stuttering, but with a wide range of interests, he is quite accomplished in novels, poems, logic and children's photography. Graduated from Oxford University, he worked as a mathematics lecturer in Christian College of Oxford University for a long time, and published several mathematical works on determinant and parallel principle. During this period, there were many essays and doggerel poems, among which the famous collection of poems was Snake Shark Hunting (1876), and the new word "Snake Shark" was included in the English dictionary. The fairy tales Alice in Wonderland (1865) and Alice's Adventures in the Mirror (187 1) are his representative works, which depict the world full of childlike interest through illusory and absurd plots and also ridicule the world of British society in the late19th century.
