The Life of Ernest Dowson, Poet and Decadent
Front Cover
5 Reviews
Tauris Parke Paperbacks, Jan 12, 2002 - Biography & Autobiography - 232 pages
Ernest Dowson, a major poet of the Victorian Decadent period, alcoholic, and severe depressive, died in 1900 at 32. He created much of his best work while suffering from tuberculosis. The most tragic of his generation, his life is a story of doomed love and adversity. Adams explores how the poet's strange delights and sexual excesses were worked into his lyrical verse.
