Abstract

In the literature and iconography of journeys to Calabria between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it is difficult to find a more successful work than Edward Lear's Journal of a Landscape Painter in Southern Calabria regarding the level of integration between textual narration and visual narration. The recent discovery of some drawings and paintings concerning Reggio, Staiti and Bagnara offers the opportunity to compare the extraordinary connection between the two narrative forms in different landscape contexts but united by the same poetic attraction on the part of English travellers.
