caption_attribution_description: Portrait of Lewis Carroll: This was first published in Carroll's biography by his nephew, Stuart Dodgson Collingwood: Collingwood, Stuart Dodgson (1898) The Life and Letters of Lewis Carroll, London&#58; &#32;T. Fisher Unwin, pp.&#160;p. 50 Retrieved on 22 December 2010. This is considered an autoportrait.
context_page_description: Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English writer of children's fiction, notably Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass. He was noted for his facility at word play, logic, and fantasy. The poems Jabberwocky and The Hunting of the Snark are classified in the genre of literary nonsense. He was also a mathematician, photographer, inventor and Anglican deacon.
  Carroll came from a family of high-church Anglicans, and developed a long relationship with Christ Church, Oxford, where he lived for most of his life as a scholar and teacher. Alice Liddell, daughter of the Dean of Christ Church, Henry Liddell, is widely identified as the original for Alice in Wonderland, though Carroll always denied this. Speculation about the nature of his relationships with children has foundered on lack of evidence.
  In 1982, a memorial stone to Carroll was unveiled in Poets' Corner, Westminster Abbey.
