Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was a shy Oxford mathematician, reverend, and pioneering photographer. Under the pen name Lewis Carroll he wrote two stunning classics that liberated childrens literature from the constraints of Victorian moralism. But the exact nature of his relationship with Alice Liddell, daughter of the dean of his college, and the young girl who was his muse and subject, remains mysterious. Dodgson met Alice in 1856, when she was almost four years old. Eventually he would capture her in his photographs, and transform the stories he told her into the luminous Alices Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass. Then, suddenly, when Alice was eleven, the Liddell family shut him out, and his relationship with Alice ended abruptly. The pages from Dodgsons diary that may have explained the rift have disappeared. In imagining what might have happened, Katie Roiphe has created a deep, textured portrait of Alice and Dodgson: she changing from an unruly child to a bewitching adolescent, and he, a diffident, neurasthenic adult whose increasing obsession with her almost destroys him. Here, too, is a brilliantly realized cast of characters that surround them: Lorina Liddell, Alices mother, who loves her daughter even as she envies her youth; Edith Liddell, Alices resentful little sister; and James Hunt, Dodgsons speech therapist, an island of sanity in Dodgsons increasingly chaotic world. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a shy Oxford mathematician, used the name Lewis Carroll and wrote two classics that liberated children's literature from Victorian moralism. But the nature of his relationship with his young muse, Alice Liddell, remains mysterious. In imagining what might have happened Roiphe has created a deep, richly textured fictional portrait of Alice and Dodgson. This item is printed on demand.
