The Writing Background of Alice in Wonderland

Lewis carroll led the three daughters of the Dean of the Christian College of Oxford University to go boating on the Thames. While having a tea break by the river, he made up a fantastic story for the children. The name of the protagonist comes from Alice, the cleverest and lovely seven-year-old among the sisters. After returning home, Carol wrote the story at Alice's request and gave it to Alice herself. Soon after, the novelist Henry Kingsley found the manuscript, and he was surprised by the imagination of the story. With his encouragement, Carol improved the story and published it on 1865 with the title Alice in Wonderland. Lewis carroll, whose original name was Charles Lutevich Dodgson, was 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.
