With an Introduction, Notes and Bibliography by Anne Varty, Royal Holloway, University of London. Wilde, glamorous and notorious, more famous as a playwright or than as a poet, invites readers of his verse to meet an unknown and intimate figure. The poetry of his formative years includes the haunting elegy to his young sister and the grieving lyric at the death of his father. The religious drama of his romance with Rome is captured here, as well as its resolution in his renewed love of ancient Greece. He explores forbidden sexual desires, pays homage to the great theatre stars and poets of his day, and 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. This edition of Wilde\\\'s verse presents the full range of his achievement as a poet. Nota: el contenido de este libro se encuentra en inglés.

This edition of the poetry of Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) includes all the poems contained in the Definitive Edition of 1940. In his lifetime, Kipling was widely regarded as the unofficial Poet Laureate, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907. His poetry is striking for its many rhythms and popular forms of speech, and Kipling was equally at hare with dramatic monologues as he was with extended ballads. He is often thought of as glorifying war, militarism and the British Empire, but an attractive reading of his poems does not confirm that view. This edition reprints George Orwel\'s hard-hitting account of Kiplinp\'s poems, first published in 1942, and generally regarded as one of the most important contributions to critical discussion of Kipling.Nota: el contenido de este libro se encuentra en inglés.

As a tourist in Italy, her American freedom and freshness of spirit come up against the corruption and hypocrisy of European manners. From its first publication, readers on both sides of the Atlantic have quarrelled about her, defending or attacking the liberties that Daisy takes and the conventions that she ignores. All three tales in this collection, Daisy Miller, An international Episode and Lady Barbarina, express Jamess most notable subject, the international theme, the encounters, romantic and cultural, between Americans and Europeans.

Is an international marriage symbolic of the highest cultural fusion of values or is it an old style raid and capture Is marriage to remain the feminine destination Nota: el contenido de este libro se encuentra en inglés.
