What is the exact date of Lewis Carroll's death?

Lewis Carroll died on 14 January 1898. He was 65 years old and died in Guildford, Surrey, England, near the end of the Victorian era.

Carroll was the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, an Oxford mathematician, author, poet, photographer, and Anglican deacon. His best-known books, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, made him one of the most influential writers of Victorian children's literature.

His career was much broader than the Alice stories. He taught mathematics at Christ Church, Oxford, wrote works on logic and recreational mathematics, experimented with photography, and created poems such as Jabberwocky and The Hunting of the Snark. He remained associated with Christ Church for most of his adult life.

A common mix-up is reversing the day and month or confusing his death year with the publication dates of his books. Carroll was born on 27 January 1832, published Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in 1865, and died on 14 January 1898.
