![]() The parents were descended from two ancient and distinguished North Country families. Lewis Carroll was born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson on January 27, 1832, in the parsonage of Daresbury, Cheshire, England, the third child and eldest son of eleven children of Reverend Charles Dodgson and his wife, Francis Jane Lutwidge. Yet, as odd as this story appears in relation to the other Victorian children's stories, this short novel is odder still because it was written by an extremely upright, ultra-conservative man - in short, a quintessential Victorian gentleman. This is true Alice is quite different from all other Victorian children's literature. Much has been written about how this novel contrasts with the vast amount of strict, extremely moralistic children's literature. Of all Lewis Carroll's major works, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has a unique standing in the category of whimsical, nonsense literature. ![]()
