Some Verses
'Some Verses' Summary
This short collection of verse by Theodore Wratislaw, first published in 1892, is a prime example of the fin de siècle Decadent movement in literature. Wratislaw's poems are characterized by their use of rich imagery, evocative language, and themes of beauty, decay, and death. The collection is divided into three sections: "Ephemera," "Sonnets," and "Ballads and Other Poems." The first section consists of short, lyrical poems that explore themes of love, loss, and the transience of beauty. The second section consists of a series of sonnets that explore similar themes, but with a more formal and structured approach. The third section consists of a variety of longer poems, including ballads, narrative poems, and dramatic monologues. These poems explore a wider range of themes, including history, mythology, and the supernatural.Book Details
