Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This evocative collection of letters written by renowned Victorian artist and humorist Edward Lear offers a captivating glimpse into the life and creative process of a remarkable figure. Spanning a period of over two decades, the letters reveal Lear's eccentric personality, his deep affection for his friends and family, and his profound love of nature. As a pioneer of the nonsense genre, Lear's letters are replete with whimsical observations and delightful wordplay. His travels to exotic locales such as India, Egypt, and Greece provided ample inspiration for his artistic endeavors, which are discussed in detail throughout the correspondence. In addition to his artistic pursuits, Lear's letters touch upon a wide range of topics, including his struggles with mental health and the challenges of navigating the Victorian art world. Beyond their intrinsic charm, Lear's letters also shed light on the social and cultural milieu of the Victorian era. They offer insights into the lives of other notable figures of the time, including Tennyson, Ruskin, and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Lear's candid and often humorous reflections on his contemporaries paint a vivid portrait of an extraordinary period in British history. Through its rich tapestry of personal anecdotes, artistic reflections, and social commentary, this book provides a compelling introduction to one of the most original and endearing figures of the Victorian era. Lear's unique perspective and enduring legacy continue to captivate readers to this day, making this collection of letters an essential read for anyone interested in art, literature, or the eccentricities of the human spirit.

Hardcover. Etat : Fair. No Jacket. 1st Edition. [1st American Edition] ; xl, 328 p. : illus., plates, ports. ; 23 cm. ; LC: NC242.L4; Dewey: 821/.8 ; OCLC: 853130986 ; green and olive cloth with gold lettering, top edge gilt, untrimmed ; "Edward Lear was perhaps the founder of that school of English humor which is distinct from the school represented by Hood or Thackeray, and found its most elaborate exemplification in the works of I^ewis Carroll. It may in truth be styled the Nonsense School, to which many of Punch'* contributors belong at the present day. The works of Lear and his followers are delightful and refreshing. To use Johnson's phrase, " they add to the gaiety of nations" by their reckless absurdity, underlain by a streak of subtle fancy. They are written without purpose and their very irresponsibility adds to the feeling of carnival elation with which they fill, as by a momentary flash of light, the mind of the reader.
