Neuware - 'The Complete Poems of Lord Alfred Douglas, Including the Light Verse' offers a comprehensive look at the poetic output of one of the most controversial and talented figures of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. Known for his technical mastery of the sonnet form and his association with the Decadent movement, Lord Alfred Douglas produced a body of work that ranges from the deeply emotional and lyrical to the sharply satirical.
