Lewis Carroll, whose real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was born on 27 January 1832 in Daresbury, Cheshire. He was his parent’s third child. Carroll died just before his 66th birthday.

This one-week course is part of The Oxford Experience, a residential summer programme aimed at non-specialists.

The course will explore Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice’ books, their origins in Oxford, its architecture, personalities, hidden histories and controversies. It will also cast a look beyond Oxford, to reimaginations in art and popular culture, science and politics, and take a look at the question of why Alice is still so fascinating to us.

Date: 1 December 2021 – 5 January 2022
