Excerpt from Our Poets
Not for the first cost, that indeed is nought, And nought for stitching, tagging, and repair, But for the penalties of being caught Sporting in public such outrageous wear; Yet Pride, or Pique, or Virtuous Scorn has brought (that last phrase smacks so well, please leave it there) Myself to that condition when I cry The truth must out and here goes do or die!

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, a critique of contemporary British poets and literary culture, features 19th century poets such as Swinburne, Wilde, Kipling, and Tennyson. The author, a poet himself, provides a scathing indictment of these poets and the Victorian literary establishment, mocking their pretensions to culture and questioning the purpose of poetry in an age that has lost its faith. The book critiques the artifice and shallowness of the literary landscape and presents a much-needed critique of the Victorian literary scene. It remains a significant contribution to literary criticism, offering a fascinating and provocative analysis of some of the major figures of the time.
