amazing Lewis Carroll, Alice Liddell and Alice in Wonderland The Lovely Bones
I think I played to put a new post, right?.
Lately following the release of the new Disney film Alice in Wonderland, it has become fashionable to put this great classic of English literature. But I really do not want to tell you about the movie (very good by the way) but the author of the novel, its origins and inspirations to create a story so bizarre and realistic. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson
or actually known as Lewis Carroll, was born in Daresbury, Cheshire (miau:)) in 1832. It was an Anglican deacon, logical, mathematical, photographer and writer.
His family came from purely conservative north of England with some Irish connections. He was the youngest of 11 children (4 boys and 7 girls). Since it showed little interest in reading and numbers. It was a pretty boy "feminine" and preferred to be with her sisters.
At twelve he was sent to a private school on the outskirts of Richmond, where it seems to integrate well, and in 1845, he moved to Rugby School, where he was evidently less happy, and it is speculated that he was abused by from other youth during their stay.
suffered deafness and stuttered, so he became shy and withdrawn. This led to prefer the company of children rather than adults, but children had marked his life negatively, so basically the only people he felt comfortable were the girls, who reminded him of his sisters and sweet period of his childhood.
wrote poetry and short stories he sent to various magazines and he reported a success discrete mathematical several books, but would probably be known for its success: Alice in Wonderland (original: Alicia, adventures underground).
Charles struck up a friendship with the vice chancellor and chaplain at Oxford, which had 3 small daughters, then, that established a strong friendship with Carroll. One of these girls
was Alice Liddell who was the favorite of Carroll and no doubt inspired him to create the Alice story.
On July 4, 1862, on a boat trip on the Thames, from Oxford to Godstow for a picnic party, Alice, who was ten years old, Charles Dodgson asked to tell a story to her and her sisters (Edith , eight years, and Lorina, out of 13). As the Reverend Robinson Duckworth rowed, Dodgson told the girls the fantastic adventures of a girl named Alice (Alice), who fell into a rabbit hole. Fascinated by history, which had seemed better than usual, Alice asked Dodgson to write it. Dodgson took approximately
about two and a half years to complete the manuscript, illustrated with drawings by his own hand, and gave it to Alice at Christmas 1864. Later
Dodgson end up posting the "story" and a second part, entitled: Alice Through the Looking Glass.
Alicia is a work ... well, is truly sublime, but talk about it in another post, more detail, because as you know, what lies behind this story is not only a story for children ...
But to return to subject, Charles, eventually lost contact with the Liddell family (until recently there was no information on what motivated this break, there is speculation the idea that Dodgson could have requested the hand of Alice, or at least have made some sort of indication to that effect).
As you see, Carroll was a curious man, who would be admired more than his own work.
The next day ... this has only been a brief introduction for the further analysis of his work.) Lies and other
probably false data on Carroll:
- Dodgson did not take drugs to write, anyone with a brain 2 realizes this. Absolutely all his works written using logic and math games, and hints that may go unnoticed, but they are there, and Carroll could not have written ...
placed - it was Carroll pederast. Well, it probably was. He liked the picture, yes, and made some pictures of girls naked, but with her consent and that of their parents. Never touched any little girl (at least there are no data about it). He never married or had children. Cienta probably felt attracted to Alicia, but all is speculation ...
- in 1999, rose to a news release disconcerting, Richard Wallace, a researcher, had published a book addressing the subject of Jack the Ripper, whose identity neither more nor less attached a. .. Lewis Carroll!, Relying on that Carroll had predicted the assassination of the victims in his poems, with 16 years in advance, apart from identificatory include small samples, then found the mutilated corpses. Another detail that according to R. Wallace frames him is that night of the murder, Carroll had no alibi, and, to round out the prosecution, said that if the teacher regularly wrote his diary in red ink, the dates that the Ripper was their own, Lewis Carroll using black ink. Carroll had no idea how to open an individual channel that way, nor was earning enough to afford sufieciente lujazo grapes give the prostitutes murdered .... However, everything is debatable.
As recent data say that Alice Liddell was the object of romantic attention of Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany, the youngest son of Queen Victoria, during the time he was a student at Christ Church. This romance, failed (she was a "commoner"), and the prince would eventually marry a German princess. However, Leopold would give his eldest daughter Alice's name, and would later become the godfather of the son of Alice Liddell, Leopold Reginald Hargreaves. There was, in any case, a friendship between Alice Liddell and her husband, the Duke of Albany.
The other day I made a "fictitious family tree" what would happen if Alice had been married to Leopold:

And this is the correct way to link my two favorite subjects xD.
