Poems & Songs
This is a volume of poetry by English poet Richard Middleton. While hardly known to readers anymore today, Middleton’s poems, stories, and essays were all very highly regarded during his lifetime and after his untimely death, having won the admiration of many of his contemporary critics and writers whose fame endured longer than that of Middleton himself. A look into this volume of poetry should convince the reader or listener that Middleton’s poetry certainly deserves much more attention than is currently given it. – Summary by Carolin [chương_files]

Poems & Parodies
Tom Kettle was an Irish economist, journalist, barrister, writer, poet, soldier and Home Rule politician. All these varied interests helped him compose beautiful and very witty poetry, until his death at the Western Front in World War I. This volume was published immediately after his death, and may give a good overview over the work and the many talents of this now almost forgotten writer. – Summary by Carolin [chương_files]

Beyond the Hills of Dream
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]

Outlook Odes
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]
