Outlook Odes

Outlook Odes

by T. W. H. Crosland

T.W.H. Crosland's 'Outlook Odes' is a collection of poems that captures the social and historical climate of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. Written in the form of letters, these odes express Crosland's observations on a range of topics, from social issues to historical events, often with a critical and satirical tone. The work reflects the intellectual and cultural ferment of the time, marked by rapid social change and the clash between traditional values and emerging modernism. However, the collection is also marred by Crosland's controversial role in the trial and aftermath of Oscar Wilde's persecution, which casts a shadow over his work.
