Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll was a Victorian writer, mathematician, and logician who is best known for his literary works such as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. His works are seminal texts within the genre of literary nonsense, utilizing absurdist humor and logic to challenge traditional conceptions of narrative structure. His use of metafiction and techniques such as parody, parody-within-parody, and self-reference have been heavily influential on subsequent generations of authors. He was noted for his facility with word play, logic, and fantasy. His poems Jabberwocky (1871) and The Hunting of the Snark (1876) are classified in the genre of literary nonsense.
