He excelled in two of these fields, photography and writing. As a photographer, he brought a sense of human fragility to the somewhat wooden Victorian scene. Carroll's literary influence is difficult to overestimate, with disciples ranging from James Joyce to Douglas Adams and beyond. But the real man, Charles Dodgson, did his best to distance himself from his nom-de-plume, being of a shy disposition and suffering from a stutter. Despite these disabilities and his conservative viewpoints, he lived a very different life from what might be expected of a bachelor don. He enjoyed an intense emotional life, filled not only by his child friends, but what was more shocking in a deacon for the Victorians, his love of the theatre. Written by ArtsmagicDVD See less
