Edward Lear's Feelings: Wonder

This programme examines different meanings of 'wonder' in Lear - as both a positive and a negative emotion, and as something in between. It studies his paintings alongside his nonsense, and closes with a reading of his poem 'Some Incidents in the Life of My Uncle Arly'.
