	Edward Lear: Victorian Trickster
		Lear's role (what Jung calls the persona) was like that of the berdache in his contributions as a visual artist, his appeal to children, his offering of healing laughter (both in personal relationships and in his nonsense writings), and even in his name-giving ability.
		Lear's limericks are, indeed, an unconscious revival of the Trickster archetype.
		Lear's emphasis on phallic noses is an unconscious assertion of one of the Trickster's "primary traits [.

		Edward Lear and the Art of Travel takes a fresh look at the life and times of Edward Lear (1812-1888) and other British artist travelers of the Victorian era.
		Most accounts of the artistic achievements of Edward Lear take as their starting point the notion that he is better known as the author of The Owl and the Pussy-cat and other nonsense verse than as a topographical draftsman and painter.
		Although he suffered from epilepsy, asthma, poor eyesight, and chronic depression, Lear was an inveterate traveler and an indefatigable sketcher, documenting a lifetime of journeys throughout the Mediterranean and India.

		Well, first of all because I like his nonsense very much, and then I wrote my thesis about him several years ago (don't worry, I'm not going to publish it!) so I am supposed to be widely read on the subject...
		Most important of all, however, is the fact that I haven't been able to find a great deal of Lear's nonsense poetry on the net and I think he deserves his small virtual space as much as his contemporary poetical colleague Lewis Carroll.
		After all, Lear may be considered the inventor of the term 'snail mail'.

	Lear by Edward Bond - direction Christophe Perton
		Edward Bond was born in 1934 in a working-class suburb of London.
		It was the original production of his play "Saved", presented at the Royal Court Theatre in 1965, which brought him to the attention of the general public, when the wrath of the critics and of the board of censors was kindled to the point of the police interrupting performances.
		If there is redemption, it is only at the price of suffering, of maturing and of ordeals which strip him of his power and make him grow up, leading him to at last accede to life, after having grown old.

		Although better remembered as the author of the 'Nonsense Poems', Edward Lear was a gifted and well-known artist.

		Readers who adore Lear and his joyful frivolity should also investigate the 1846 classic A Book of Nonsense, a rollicking, ridiculous poetic romp that no child or adult should be without.
		Lear published these nonsense rhymes in 1871, yet the intervening century has not tarnished their brightness.
		Lears choice of key words is delightfully eccentric, gaining steam through the course of the 26 letters with a predictable formula: E was once a little eel,/ Eely/ Weely/ Peely/ Eely/ Twirly tweely/ Little eel precedes F was once a little fish,/ Fishy/ Wishy/ Squishy/ Fishy/ In a dishy/ Little fish.
