'Outlook Odes' Summary
'Outlook Odes' presents a collection of poems by T.W.H. Crosland, offering a glimpse into the social and intellectual landscape of late Victorian and Edwardian England. The poems are crafted in the format of letters, allowing Crosland to address various themes, including social issues, historical events, and cultural trends. Through his free verse and allusions to historical figures and societal happenings, Crosland offers a commentary on the changing times, highlighting the clash between traditional values and the emerging modernism. While the collection offers insight into the intellectual ferment of the era, it also bears the weight of Crosland's contentious role in the Oscar Wilde trial and its aftermath, which significantly influences how the collection is viewed today. Despite this controversy, the 'Outlook Odes' remain a significant body of work, showcasing Crosland's talent for capturing the spirit of the era in his poetic voice.Book Details
