: : : 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!
If the only evidence you have is a rumor that he had seizures that you have been sadly misinformed. Seizures (even over long periods of time and gran mal (that's the big ones) cause brain damage.
Why are you bothering to respond if you have no evidence? You're only continuing the spread of rumors and misconceptions. Why not try to find out for yourself before confusing others.
