Alice in Wonderland is a novel by Lewis Carroll that was first published in 1865. Carroll, a mathematician and logician, pokes fun at the vaunted rationality of the educated Victorian elite throughout the story. Its whimsical humor is drawn from a conflict between the rational ideal and the chaotic truth of the world.
