Poems In Prose

Beschreibung

This collection of poems in prose by Oscar Wilde represents an extraordinary and underappreciated aspect of the great writer's work. His light touch and gentle irony forge a subtle connection with their Romantic precursors, but the exquisite lyrics in this volume have never been matched for their charm, power, and sheer gorgeousness. From evocative descriptions of animals to dreamlike fantasies of love, Wilde's Poems in Prose is an enchanting and transporting journey into the imagination of one of the greatest writers of all time.

During his career, Wilde wrote nine plays, including 'The Importance of Being Earnest,' 'Lady Windermere's Fan,' and 'A Woman of No Importance,' many of which are still performed today. His only novel, 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' was adapted for the silver screen, in the film, 'Dorian Gray,' starring Ben Barnes and Colin Firth. In addition, Wilde wrote 43 poems, and seven essays.
