Tom Kettle was an Irish economist, journalist, barrister, writer, poet, soldier and Home Rule politician.

William Wilfred Campbell was a Canadian author and poet. Some of his poems are among the most famous Canadian poems of all time, and many contemporary Canadians interested in poetry may be familiar with one or two of his poems. The rest of his work is not very well-known today – a pitiful oversight. This collection contains 36 of his poems, and may serve as a good reintroduction into Campbell’s poetry. – Summary by Carolin [chương_files]
This is a collection of poems by TWH Crosland. While earning some fame as a writer and poet himself, he is today best remembered for the rather shameful role he played in the trial of Oscar Wilde and in the aftermath of the persecution. Nevertheless, his poetry is of interest as an item of the time, in quick, free verse, and with many allusions to historical and social developments. These odes, written in the style of letters, are excellent examples of this. – Summary by Carolin [chương_files]

This volume contains some of his poems, composed during his stay in India. – Summary by Carolin [chương_files]
