Woodstock's facsimile series takes a walk on the Wilde side with this poetry duo from 1898 and 1892, respectively. The former volume offers one long poem, while the latter contains about 50 shorter pieces. These reproductions additionally include scholarly introductions.
The Ballad of Reading Gaol was written by Oscar Wilde in France where he was in exile after his release from Reading Gaol. Wilde had been imprisoned and sentenced to two years hard labour.
A hanging took place while Wilde was incarcerated and the poem is the narrative of the execution.
