Lewis Carroll

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was born in 1832, the third of eleven children of a clergyman, and stammered all his life. He taught mathematics at Oxford from 1855 to 1881, published works on logic and determinants, was ordained a deacon without ever becoming a priest, and practised photography from 1856 to 1880. He signed his children's books with a pen name made by latinising his two forenames and then translating them back. He died in 1898.
