Writer of the nonsense poem The Hunting of the Snark (7)

I believe the answer is:

carroll

(Other definitions for carroll that I've seen before include "Lewis -, Alice creator" , "Lewis -- (Alice books)" , "writer of fiction !" , "Writer of nonsense" , "See 17" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
