: : Hey All! I heard that Lewis Carroll was insane and the stories Alice in Wonderland and Though the looking Gl were what he saw in his head. I interested in finding out about this,so if anyone has any websites or info, EMAIL ME!!
: Interesting how one spreads rumors.
: Actually, in several of the biographies[eg: Cohen] of Charles Dodgson
: (Lewis Carroll) they tell the story of someone not knowing that Lewis
: Carroll and Dodgson were one and the same.
: The story goes that Dodgson was told, in strict confidence by a lady,
: that it was well established that "Lewis Carroll was insane". He
: (Dodgson) evidently made no reply, but I would bet that his reactions
: included amusement.
: At any rate, the rumor of insanity is over 130 years old.
: Perhaps you could share the authoritative source that still circulates
: this stuff.
: Jim
Actually I was told that lewis caroll and sezures during the writing of alice in wonderland. And that can mess up your brain!
