Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Feeding the Mind by Lewis Carroll. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Daresbury, Cheshire, UK, January 27, 1832-Guildford, Surrey, UK, January 14, 1898), better known by his pseudonym Lewis Carroll, was an Anglican deacon, logician, mathematician, photographer, and British writer. His best-known works are Alice in Wonderland and its continuation, Through the Looking Glass and what Alice found there. Dodgson's ancestors came mainly from the north of England, with some Irish connections. Conservatives and members of the Anglican High Church, most of them devoted themselves to the two characteristic professions of the English upper-middle class: the army and the Church. His great-grandfather, also called Charles Dodgson, his grandfather, another Charles, was an army captain and died in battle in 1803, when his two sons were still very young. The oldest of them -also called Charles- chose the ecclesiastical career. He studied at Westminster School and later at Christ Church, Oxford. Highly skilled in mathematics, he earned a double degree that promised to be the start of a brilliant academic career. However, the future father of Lewis Carroll preferred, after marrying his cousin in 1827, to become a rural parish priest. Her son Charles was born in the small parish of Dareso, in Cheshire.
