Review of Inventing Edward Lear in A Blog of Bosh

Description

positive review of Inventing Edward Lear:'the five essays which make up the book, taken together, provide what I consider the best available overall critical interpretation of Lear’s thought and artistic production in several media and demonstrate that his nonsense is not the result of an escapist tendency, as it has often been seen: on the contrary, the author appears as a man deeply involved in the main political, religious and scientific debates of his time.'
