Acclaimed historian Jenny Uglow brings us a fascinating and beautifully illustrated biography of Edward Lear, full of the colour of the age.
We know Edward Lear as a genius of nonsense, full of shocks and surprises, and as a poet of strange loves-"The Owl and the Pussy-Cat," "The Dong with a Luminous Nose." We may know him, too, for his paintings of parrots and owls, or for his luminous landscapes. But do we know that he taught Queen Victoria to draw, traveled alone across the wild Albanian mountains, and waded through muddy fields with Tennyson?
Lear lived all his life on the borders of rules and structures, of disciplines and desires. Children adored him and adults loved him, yet somehow he was always alone. In this beautiful volume, a fresh and joyful appreciation by the award-winning and compulsively readable Jenny Uglow, we follow Lear from his troubled childhood to his striving as an artist, tracking his swooping moods, passionate friendships, and restless travels. And, as we travel with him, his "nonsenses" are elegantly unpicked-without losing any of their fun.
珍妮·乌格洛（Jenny Uglow）的书名就更加直接了：《利尔：艺术与荒唐的一生》（Mr Lear: A Life of Art and Nonsense），这本书毫无遮掩地讲述了爱德华·利尔这位荒诞的作家从摇篮到坟墓的一生，前所未有地揭露了他的同性情结，以及在和自己性向斗争过程中内心的痛苦。他们都是斯特莱切的传人，我们对此万分感谢。
