Summary: Previously unseen poems and letters written by Victorian nonsense poet Edward Lear have been found hidden in a private collection. The discovery was made by University of Nottingham PhD student Amy Wilcockson in the British Library. While sifting through manuscripts, Ms Wilcockson noticed some pages written by Lear to a young English woman he had befriended in Italy. Utter nonsense of course, that's what good about it.
