註釋In 'Three Biographies of Lewis Carroll,' readers encounter a multi-faceted exploration of the renowned children's author and mathematician, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, known by his pen name Lewis Carroll. Stuart Dodgson Collingwood's 'The Life and Letters of Lewis Carroll' serves as the cornerstone of this collection, a work that illuminates Carroll's life through his correspondence and writings, while simultaneously shaping the controversial image of his personal relationships. Belle Moses' 'Lewis Carroll in Wonderland and at Home' and Isa Bowman's 'The Story of Lewis Carroll' offer further insight with their distinct narratives—Moses' as a biographer delving into Carroll's dualistic existence, and Bowman's as an intimate memoir from the perspective of the legendary Alice herself. This anthology weaves together the complexity of Carroll's life, encapsulating his literary achievements within their Victorian context, his enigmatic persona and the enduring impact on his readers and society at large. Stuart Dodgson Collingwood, being Carroll's nephew and a reverend with deep scholarly inclinations, approached his work with familial insight and a profound sense of duty to preserve his uncle's legacy. The proximity of Collingwood's publication date to Carroll's passing offers an immediacy and personal touch to his narrative. Moses and Bowman contribute additional layers of understanding, with Moses capturing the societal breadth of Carroll's influence while Bowman offers a valuable, affectionate testimony showcasing Carroll's role in her life and career. Together, these biographies grapple with the complexities of Carroll's character, piecing together the stories of a man who was as much a puzzle as his famous writings. This collection is recommended for scholars and enthusiasts of literature and Victorian culture, providing a rich tapestry of perspectives on Lewis Carroll's life. It succeeds in humanizing the figure behind 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,' revealing the personal anecdotes and professional triumphs that have cemented Carroll's place in literary history. A crucial addition to any Carroll collection, 'Three Biographies of Lewis Carroll' promotes a deeper appreciation of Carroll's multifaceted personality and the mysterious genius that fueled his enduring works.
