The fundamental tone of Lewis Carroll's work is humor. Using humorous examples to dismantle the logic of the meanings that his own work contains in this case, Carroll positions himself as one of the pioneers of a new science of discourse through symbolism.
A Tangled Tale* by Lewis Carroll is a collection of ten humorous, mathematical stories originally published as a serial between 1880 and 1885. The tales combine fiction, puzzles, and logic, each presenting a mathematical problem for readers to solve. The stories feature playful, often nonsensical narratives filled with whimsical characters, as Carroll uses his trademark wit and love of wordplay to make complex mathematical concepts accessible. The challenges range from simple arithmetic to more complicated problems involving algebra and logic, inviting readers to engage in Carroll’s blend of mathematics and literary humor.
