Soft cover. Etat : New. No Jacket. 3rd Edition. This third edition has been completely re-set, and includes some additional illustrations. The Introduction and Bibliography have been updated and two Appendices, which trace and list Lear's Cretan drawings and watercolours, have been added. Edited and with an Introduction by Rowena Fowler When Edward Lear set off from Corfu for Crete in April 1864, it was in no very optimistic frame of mind. For the last nine years Corfu had been his winter home but after half a century of British rule the island had been ceded to Greece and Lear felt obliged to move. His livelihood required an immediate expedition to new scenes and he probably assumed that another book of Mediterranean travels would be likely to sell. So it was that he chose Crete. This journey of his travels through the island is a detailed and sometimes minute-by-minute commentary on the landscape of Crete and a record of the ups and downs, physical and mental of an artist travelling on foot over difficult terrain, written in Lear's own inimitable style. (Large format, with many water-colours and sketches.) Edited and with an Introduction by Rowena Fowler 124 pages.
