Having won the competition for a scholarship Boulter in 1851 and was honored distinction of the first class in mathematics and second in classical languages and ancient literature in 1852, the young man was admitted to the scientific work. In 1855 he was appointed lecturer in mathematics and remained in that position until his retirement in 1881. Dodgson lived at the college until his death in 1898.
A large number of books and pamphlets on mathematics and logic suggests that Dodgson was a conscientious member of a learned society. Among them - Algebraic analysis of the fifth book of Euclid (The Fifth Book of Euclid Treated Algebraically, . 1858 and 1868), . Synopses on algebraic planimetry (A Syllabus of Plane Algebraical Geometry, . 1860), .

The most extraordinary story he told Lauren, Alice and Edith Liddell and the Canon Dakuortu July 4, 1862 near Godstou, in the Upper Thames. Alice Dodgson persuaded to write this story on paper than he was engaged in over the next few months. Then, . on the advice of Henry Kingzli and Dzh.Makdonalda, . he rewrote the book for a wider readership, . adding a few more stories, . first tell children Liddell, . and in July 1865 he has published The Adventures of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland),

. Both books are illustrated by D. Tennel (1820-1914), follow exactly the instructions Dodgson.

And Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass talk about events that take place as if in a dream. Fragmentation of the narrative allows the writer of the episodes include stories, . which play with the restructuring sayings and sayings, . like 'smiling Cheshire Cat' or 'Mad Hatter', . a funny unfolding situation such games, . as croquet or cards,
. Through the mirror in comparison with Wonderland differs greater unity of plot.

And Reason?, 1883) and Three of the sunset (Three Sunsets, 1898). Fame was also a verse epic in the genre of nonsense Snark Hunting (The Hunting of the Snark, 1876).
