The Poetry of Oscar Wilde (Arcturus Great Poets Library)

A brilliant writer, flamboyant playwright, and prominent journalist, Oscar Wilde was also an accomplished poet. This collection of his greatest poems features such essential works as "The Ballad of Reading Gaol" and "The Burden of Itys". By turns touching, optimistic, heart-breaking, and thought-provoking, the poems draw upon Wilde's own experiences, and on his interpretations of Irish myths and legends. At times satirical and witty, yet also acutely observant, Oscar Wilde's voice continues to captivate readers to this day. ABOUT THE SERIES: Arcturus Great Poets Library brings together moving and inspiring verse from some of the greatest poets in history, presented with beautiful new cover designs with graphic motifs.
