Lewis Carroll was a pedophile?

[(Anonymous)]

Well, it's been suggested by some of his biographers, argued against by others.

He certainly liked spending time with young girls. He did also photograph children in the nude, but pretty non-sexually, it seems. And the Victorians had a whole weird thing going on in terms of depictions of nude children as a symbol of innocence and purity. (There are examples of nude children on actual Christmas cards of the day.)

And contrary to popular opinion, he did have relationships with adult women and there's no actual evidence that he wanted to marry Alice Liddell.

So...it's possible. But hard to say.

Huh, thank you for this information! I didn't know any of that.

The biography that talks about this is written by Morton Cohen. He got in hot water for it, but personally, I liked his work.

Anyway, regardless of whether he was "the real thing" or not we stan, because there's no evidence of his having had inappropriate contact with girls and he single-handedly invented nonsense literature as a genre for children's books.
