- Title
Palms and Temples: Edward Lear's Topographies.
- Authors
MAXWELL, RICHARD
- Abstract
The essay explores the relationship between landscape illustrations by Edward Lear of his travels in Albania and poems written by his friend Alfred Tennyson in response to Lear's journals of his journeys. It notes that Lear's visual works to accompany poems show more expressiveness than his large oil paintings. Lear's illustrations of the poems "The Palace of Art," "To E.L., on His Travels in Greece" and "Locksley Hall" are examined. Lear's conflict between documentation and vision is explored.
