A new biography of Lewis Carroll, who Woolf states was brilliant, secretive and self-contradictory. He reveled in double meanings and puzzles, in his fiction and his life. Using rarely een and recently discovered sources, such as Carroll’s accounts ledger and unpublished correspondence with the “real” Alice’s family, Woolf sets Lewis Carroll firmly in the context of the English Victorian age and answers many intriguing questions about the man who wrote the Alice books, including these: • Was it Alice or her older sister that caused him to break with the Liddell family? • How true is the “romantic secret” which many think ruined Carroll’s personal life? • Who caused Carroll major financial trouble and why did Carroll successfully conceal that person’s identity and actions? Woolf answers these and other questions to bring readers yet another look at one of the most elusive English writers the world has known.
