Lyria Elegantiarum

Lyria Elegantiarum is a collection of some of the best specimens of Vers de Societe and Vers d'Occasion, compiled by Frederick Locker and originally published in 1889. The book is a celebration of the art of light, witty and often satirical poetry, capturing the spirit of high society in the late 19th century. The collection features works by some of the most renowned poets of the time, including Tennyson, Browning, and Swinburne, as well as lesser-known but equally talented writers. The poems cover a variety of themes, from love and romance to politics and social commentary, and are accompanied by illustrations by some of the era's most prominent artists. Lyria Elegantiarum is a delightful and insightful glimpse into the world of Victorian poetry and society, and a must-read for anyone interested in the literary and cultural history of the period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
