The Mysticism of Lewis Carroll

The Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was better known by the pen name Lewis Carroll. Carroll is best known as the author of Alice in Wonderland and Alice through the Looking Glass, but he was also a brilliant mathematician and a greatly gifted formal logician. He became a mathematics lecturer and was expected, as a condition of his residency at Christ Church Oxford, to take holy orders. But he didn’t. He never took full orders. And the reason is that he became a mystic with a genius for documenting mystic symbolism in an accessible way. Carroll was shy, and cursed with an incurable stammer. But in the company of young children, he lost both his stammer and his shyness. Carroll confessed in 1858 that ‘they [the children] are three fourths my life’. And this is why he wrote what appeared to be children's stories. As Carl Gustav Jung said "Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.

John Tenniel - The illustrations are from Carroll’s books and are principally by John Tenniel, for example:
- The Borogoves Toves and the Raths illustration from Through the Looking Glass
- engraving-father-william-doing-summersault-alice-wonderland-
Salvador Dali – Dali did a great number of illustrations for Alice in Wonderland, that we have used
Arthur Rackham – also illustrated Alice in Wonderland.
Ralph Steadman – with illustrations of both Alice in Wonderland’s rabbit and Looking Glass’s chess board.

As you can see Carroll attracted some world class illustrators, all of whom understood the importance [and the symbolism] of his work and preserved it in the drawings and paintings.
