Collected Poems of Oscar Wilde

Synopsis

With an introduction, notes and bibliography by anne varty, royal holloway, university of london. Wilde, glorous and notorius, more fous as a playwright or prisoner than as a poet, invites readers of his verse to meet an unknown and intimate figure. The poetry of his formative years includes the haunting elegy to his young sister and the grieving lyric at the death of his father. The religious dra of his romance with rome is captured here, as well as its resolution in his renewed love of ancient greece.
