Description
Edward Lear was a man of many talents and passions. His poetry is still widely loved today, but he was also a naturalist, landscape painter, travel writer, and composer. Sara Lodge presents the fullest account yet of Lear's life, exploring his intellectual, social, and cultural pursuits. Lear's life was marked by both creativity and challenge. He suffered from epilepsy, asthma, and depression, but found ways to channel these difficulties into his work. Through diaries, letters, and new archival sources, Lodge sheds light on Lear's musical influences, religious nonconformity, and relationships with the Pre-Raphaelite movement. This book offers a fresh perspective on one of the most intriguing figures of the Victorian era. By examining Lear's many pursuits, Lodge reveals a dynamic and irreverent polymath whose conversation continues to captivate us today.
