Still She Haunts Me by Katie Roiphe
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson - Lewis Carroll - was a distinguished Oxford mathematician, clergyman and pioneering photographer. He was also a shy, eccentric man with a pronounced stutter. The exact nature of his relationship with his muse, Alice Liddell, remains a mystery. It was a relationship characterised by a deeply obsessive love, typical of the nineteenth century, and so profound and complex that it led to the creation of one of the most imaginative works of all time, Alice in Wonderland. Katie Roiphe's vividly imagined and compassionate portrait of this relationship has tried to explain what happened to cause the rift between Dodgson and Alice Liddell's family which occurred when Alice was eleven, and, in doing so, she has created a bold, intelligent and compulsive piece of fiction.
Katie Roiphe received her Ph.D from Princeton University in English literature. Her articles have appeared in many publications including: The New York Times, Esquire (US), Guardian and The Times. She is also the author of two non-fiction books, The Morning After and Last Night in Paradise.
