A Daily Telegraph, Times, Evening Standard, TLS and Spectator Book
of the Year. Winner of the Hawthornden Prize. Edward Lear is
well-loved for his 'nonsenses', from joyous limericks to great love
songs, and for his wonderful natural history paintings, landscapes
and travel writing. But although Lear belongs to the age of Darwin
and Dickens, his genius for the absurd and his dazzling word-play
make him a very modern spirit. He was also a man of great
simplicity and charm - children loved him - yet his humour masked
epilepsy, depression and loneliness. Jenny Uglow's beautifully
illustrated biography brings us his swooping moods, passionate
friendships and restless travels. Above all it shows how this
uniquely gifted man lived all his life on the boundaries of
disciplines and desires - an exile of the heart.
