The Complete Works

Viac o knihe

This carefully crafted ebook is formatted for your eReader with a detailed table of contents. It includes major works such as "Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland," "Through the Looking-Glass," "Sylvie and Bruno," and various stories and poems, alongside "The Life and Letters of Lewis Carroll," a biography by his nephew, Stuart Dodgson Collingwood, published in 1898. This biography inadvertently shaped the perception of Carroll as a pedophile by omitting evidence of his unconventional relationships with women, particularly young girls. In the Victorian era, such affections were often viewed differently than today, with men who loved pre-pubescent girls seen as innocent. Collingwood emphasized this aspect of his uncle's character, contributing to the complex legacy of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, known as Lewis Carroll, who was an author, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon, and photographer. Stuart Dodgson Collingwood, an English clergyman and headmaster, wrote two books about his uncle, further exploring his life and works. The collection presents a comprehensive view of Carroll's literary contributions and the context surrounding his life.
