Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Sylvie and Bruno, first published in 1889, and their second volume Sylvie and Bruno Concluded published in 1893, form the last Lewis Carroll novel published during his lifetime. The novel has two main plots: one set in the real world at the time the book was published (the Victorian era), the other in the fantasy world of Fairyland. While the latest plot is a fairy tale with many meaningless elements and poems, similar to Carroll's Alice books, the story set in Victorian Britain is a social novel, with its characters discussing various concepts and aspects of religion, society, philosophy and morality. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Daresbury, Cheshire, UK, January 27, 1832-Guildford, Surrey, UK, January 14, 1898), better known by his pseudonym Lewis Carroll, was an Anglican deacon, logician, mathematician, photographer, and British writer.His best-known works are Alice in Wonderland and its continuation, Through the Looking Glass and what Alice found there. Dodgson's ancestors came mainly from the north of England, with some Irish connections. Conservatives and members of the Anglican High Church, most of them devoted themselves to the two characteristic professions of the English upper-middle class: the army and the Church.
