The ballad of Reading Gaol and Other Poems

---

Oscar Wilde was a writer and playwright who contributed to literature and the annals of history in various forms. This volume of poems ranges from some of his earliest works to newer ones, including "E Tenebris", and possibly the most popular of his poems, "The Ballad of Reading Gaol".
This range of poems depicts Wilde's growth as an artist and person, as sees in his choice of subjects from focusing on sensation and pleasure to moral complexity, from sorrow to death. Wilde's poetry included sonnets, ballads and other forms.
This book was the last work published before his death in 1900. It describes the death of a fellow inmate, hanged for murdering his wife, and his serenity in the face of his impending hanging. It goes on to talk about the terrors, conditions, and life at the Reading Gaol.
