Wilde, glamorous and notorious, more famous as a playwright or prisoner 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, 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.

Oscar Wilde

Autor

Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (Dublín, Irlanda, entonces perteneciente al Reino Unido, 16 de octubre de 1854-París, Francia, 30 de noviembre de 1900) fue un escritor, poeta y dramaturgo de origen irlandés. Wilde es considerado uno de los dramaturgos más destacados del Londres victoriano tardío; además, fue una celebridad de la época debido a su gran y aguzado ingenio. Hoy en día, es recordado por sus epigramas, sus obras de teatro y la tragedia de su encarcelamiento, seguida de su temprana muerte. En la década de 1890 refinó sus ideas sobre la supremacía del arte en una serie de diálogos y ensayos, e incorporó temas de decadencia, duplicidad y belleza en su única novela, El retrato de Dorian Gray. La oportunidad para desarrollar con precisión detalles estéticos y combinarlos con temas sociales le indujo a escribir teatro.
