Lewis Carroll Could Have Been A Paedophile…a repressed paedophile, that is.Alright, let’s talk about Lewis Carroll, author of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”—that Lewis Carroll. But before you tell me to sod off, as I’ve stated on the title Carroll could have been. Don’t declare war on the comments section.(For you kind but lazy lads and ladies [because Quora totally flagged my answer as violating Be Nice, Be Respectful policy], tl;dr is at the bottom)Reverend Charles Dodgson, better known under his pen-name Lewis Carroll, liked little girls. "I am fond of children (except boys)." He writes. “He took exquisite, melancholy photographs of little girls. He befriended little girls on trains, and beaches, and in the houses of friends.”¹ and called these children his “child friends”.He maintained correspondence with these girls and even wrote to one 10-year-old: "Extra thanks and kisses for the lock of hair. I have kissed it several times - for want of having you to kiss, you know, even hair is better than nothing."²Doesn’t that sound a tad questionable? But then again it might have meant something entirely different then—but I don’t know. Sounds pretty shady to me.According to biographers Derek Hudson and Roger Lancelyn Green “he [Carroll] had a passion for small female children and next to no interest in the adult world. With Catherine Robson referring to Carroll as "the Victorian era's most famous (or infamous) girl lover"³And one particular little girl, one of his ‘child friends’ took a shine on him—Alice.Lewis Carroll met the Liddells—the dean, Henry Liddell, his wife, Lorina and their children, three of whom Carroll would grow very close to—at Christ Church during his term. The ones he was particularly close to were the three Liddell sisters: Lorina, Edith and Alice. When the children were old enough to explore the outer walls of the deanery, Carroll took the children boating…it was during this boating that Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was conceived (through the real Alice’s nagging).As a photographer, the three Liddell sisters were his muses, he often invited them for sittings but Alice, the tiny Alice was his favorite.But some time around June 1863, Carroll’s association with the Liddell family and the children are abruptly cut, interestingly though, the pages (in his diary) containing this particular event was torn out.There are different theories suggesting as to why, one being Carroll’s proposal to the then 11-year-old Alice was declined. (Take note, though in Victorian England, particularly before 1875 the age of consent was 12 years old.⁴) and then there’s a “note” that’s supposed to summarize and censor the torn pages:"he is supposed to be using the children as a means of paying court to the governess—he is also supposed by some to be courting Ina"⁵Ina, was Lorina Liddell, the elder sister.During a research for a BBC documentary, a photograph of Lorina Liddell, Alice’s elder sister was discovered in a French museum and it was attributed to Carroll. But it wasn’t just a typical photograph. Lorina Liddell, already a pubescent girl, posed for Lewis Carroll, naked and full frontal. A photo which, according to BBC’s Martha Kearney says “no parent would ever have consented to”.⁶What made the Liddells cut ties with the author?And as the New Republic says: “Is it possible that history has misread his collection of photographs and his relationship with Alice? Yes. Is it possible that he was amiable but also a pedophile? Yes.”⁷-tl;dr in a nutshell, Lewis Carroll took a naked, full frontal picture of a pubescent girl.References¹Was Lewis Carroll's interest in Alice sinister?²Cohen, Morton N. (1995).

If you haven’t seen this one before, it’s hard to find the error. This is Lewis Caroll’s “Every triangle is isosceles” in the 1899 book The Lewis Carroll picture book; a selection from the unpublished writings and drawings of Lewis Carroll, together with reprints from scarce and unacknowledged work. Edited by Stuart Dodgson Collingwood, pages 264–265. Stuart Dodgson Collingwood was the nephew of Lewis Carroll, the pen name of mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.(Note: there was a typo in the next to the last line starting “Then the Triangles…” I fixed it.)But, of course, not all triangles are isosceles.On the following page you’ll find an obtuse angle is sometimes equal to a right angleBut, of course, obtuse angles are never right angles. (By the way, the line KC should have been drawn in the diagram.)
