A Second Series Of Fleet Street Eclogues (1896)

A Second Series of Fleet Street Eclogues is a collection of poems written by John Davidson and published in 1896. The poems are written in the style of pastoral eclogues, but are set in the bustling city of London rather than the countryside. The characters in the poems are journalists, writers, and other inhabitants of Fleet Street, which was at the time the center of the British newspaper industry. The poems explore themes such as love, politics, and the struggles of working-class life in the city. Davidson's writing is characterized by its vivid imagery, sharp social commentary, and use of dialect and slang. The collection was well-received by critics and helped establish Davidson as a prominent voice in the literary scene of late 19th century Britain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
