{{Short description|French academic}} '''Hugues Lebailly''' is a French academic and Senior Lecturer in English Cultural Studies at the Sorbonne. He is known for his work on nineteenth-century English literature, particularly his studies of Lewis Carroll which, in combination with the work of Karoline Leach and others, have begun a reassessment of Carroll's life and personality. His work on Carroll's place within what he has termed the "Victorian Child-Cult" has helped shape a new understanding of the man's sexuality and his artistry.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://contrariwise.wild-reality.net/association.html |title=Association for new Lewis Carroll studies |publisher=Contrariwise.wild-reality.net |accessdate=2012-02-03 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120207054041/http://www.contrariwise.wild-reality.net/association.html |archivedate=2012-02-07 }}</ref>
