Feminist critics have darkly suggested that Dodgson was a paedophile. They have condemned the beautiful photographs he took and objected to his objectification of the immature female body, and read all sorts of rapacious nonsense into the Alice books. At the other extreme, many of Dodgson’s defenders have protested too much. They have attempted to argue that he was utterly without feelings for little girls. One of his early biographers wrote, “There is no evidence that he felt or inspired any pangs of tender passion”, when of course there was an abundance of evidence that he did. His defenders tend to portray him as a shy, stuttering bachelor with a fondness for children that may as well have been a fondness for stamps or porcelain puppies.
Is it possible that neither view of him is correct — that he was neither the child molester nor the pure, white-haired reverend? It is possible that our crude categories, our black and white views of romantic feeling, cannot contain someone like Dodgson. It is almost impossible for us to contemplate a man who falls in love with little girls without wanting to put him in prison. The subtleties, for those of us still mired in the paranoias of the 20th century, are hard to grasp. When one thinks of a paedophile, one thinks of a lustful, over-the-top, drooling Nabokovian love, but that is not Lewis Carroll. His love was more delicate and tortured and elusive; his warmth, his strange, terrified passion, more intricate and complicated than anything encompassed by a single word. |

Date: May 25th, 2018 9:12 AM Author: wine liquid oxygen ceo I dont think he was actively assaulting children but I think he had some personal private disability that made normal relations w women impossible, and as a consequence a lot of his sex drive was converted into a tender fatherly feeling toward young women.
