Lewis Carroll (1832–1898) was the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, an Oxford mathematician and logician. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass are the founding texts of literary nonsense, dream-logic, paradox and transformation rendered with a mathematician’s precision. Their influence on fantasy and on the playful, rule-bending strand of science fiction runs very deep.
