COLLECTED POEMS OF OSCAR WILDE (WORDSWORTH POETRY) (PB)

This edition of Wilde's verse presents the full range of his achievement as a poet. He explores forbidden sexual desires, pays homage to the great theatre stars and poets of his day, observes cityscapes with impressionist intensity. His final masterpiece, 'The Ballad of Reading Gaol', tells the painful story of his own prison experience and calls for universal compassion. Introduction and notes by Anne Varty, Royal Holloway, University of London.
