Edward Lear

James Williams's account, the first book-length critical study of the poet since the 1980s, sets out to re-introduce Lear and to accord him his proper place: as a major Victorian figure of continuing appeal and relevance, and especially as a poet of beauty, comedy, and profound ingenuity.

Relatarea lui James Williams, primul studiu critic de lunga durata al poetului din anii 1980, isi propune sa reintroduca Lear si sa-i acorde locul potrivit: ca o figura victoriana majora de atractie si relevanta continua, si mai ales ca poet al frumusete, comedie si ingeniozitate profunda.
