His early verse, notably in the major collections \u003cem\u003eSilhouettes\u003c\/em\u003e (1892; revd 1896) and \u003cem\u003eLondon Nights \u003c\/em\u003e(1895; revd 1897), created a sophisticated new kind of urban poetry out of the gas-lit world of London theatre and night-life. Under the French influences of Baudelaire and Verlaine, Symons developed a wistful poetic eroticism new to English readers, leading the way to the modernism of T. S. Eliot and others in the next generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis selection from Symons's most fertile period as a poet reproduces the fuller revised editions of \u003cem\u003eSilhouettes\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eLondon Nights\u003c\/em\u003e in their entirety, together with related poems from his other early volumes, \u003cem\u003eDays and Nights\u003c\/em\u003e (1889), \u003cem\u003eAmoris Victima\u003c\/em\u003e (1897), \u003cem\u003eImages of Good and Evil\u003c\/em\u003e (1899), and with early poems collected in \u003cem\u003eKnave of Hearts\u003c\/em\u003e (1913).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFully annotated and supplemented by related critical writings by Symons, Walter Pater, and others, this text offers students of late-Victorian literature a rich resource for the understanding of decadence in the London literary scene of the 1890s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 232\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 11, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47351151362297,"sku":"9781781880999","price":38.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Y2pobVE3RG15RVZMa1p5SHlBVU9pdz09.webp?v=1769795393","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/selected-early-poems-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
