Lewis Carroll, the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was an English writer, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon, and photographer, born on January 27, 1832, in Daresbury, Cheshire. Carroll is best recognized for his contributions to the genre of literary nonsense, a style that plays with language and logic to create whimsical and fantastical works. His most famous writings include 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' and its sequel 'Through the Looking-Glass,' which have firmly embedded themselves in the annals of children's literature and continue to influence modern storytelling. 'The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in Eight Fits,' published in 1876, is another of Carroll's noteworthy works. This poem follows the adventures of a peculiar band of characters as they search for the elusive Snark. The narrative showcases Carroll's adept use of wordplay, nonsensical themes, and imaginative verse, characteristics that have been widely attributed to him.
