Dedicated to Robert Louis Stevenson, this anthology gathers poems written in the intricate forms revived by late Victorian poets: ballades, rondeaus, chants royal, sestinas, villanelles and triolets. Gleeson White adds notes on the early history of each form, and the examples come from Henley, Lang, Dobson and many others on both sides of the Atlantic.
A delightful collection for lovers of light verse and anyone curious about strict poetic forms. Download the free EPUB.
