Lewis Caroll
There are a lot of amazing and inspiring famous neurodivergent people, but this time I decided to write the biography of the author who wrote my favorite fairy tale, Lewis Caroll.
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English writer of children's fiction book. He was noted for his facility with word play, logic, and fantasy. Although he’s also poet, mathematician, photographer, and inventor, he is best remembered for his fairy tales. Some of you probably know the story of Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland and it’s sequel Through the Looking Glass. Yes, it was written by Lewis Caroll.
Lewis Caroll was born on 27 January 1832 in All Saints' Vicarage at Daresbury, Cheshire, near Warrington. He came from a family of high-church Anglicans. During his early youth, Lewis Caroll was educated at home. In 1846, Lewis Caroll entered Rugby School. He left Rugby School at the end of 1849 and matriculated at the University of Oxford in May 1850 as a member of his father's old college, Christ Church.
Carroll published his novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in 1865, followed by Through the Looking Glass in 1872. Alice's story began as a piece of extemporaneous whimsy meant to entertain three little girls on a boating trip in 1862. Both of these works were considered children's novels that were satirical in nature and in exemplification of Carroll's wit. Alice’s Adventures Wonderland is a world that representing how neurodivergent and young children sees the world. The most obvious theme that can be found in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is the theme of growing up.
Caroll died on January, 14 1898 in Guildford, United Kingdom. The concepts of neurodiversity have become more developed since 1999. It is difficult to look at the growing number of historical artistic figures being identified as neurodivergent and not think that there could be some correlation between neurodivergence and creative genius. But after all, he's stories are amazing for me.
