Book Synopsis Charmides, and Other Poems by : Oscar Wilde
Book excerpt: 'Charmides, and Other Poems' is a collection of poems and sonnets by Oscar Wilde. 'Charmides', which is featured here, is known to be Oscar Wilde's longest and one of his most controversial poems. The story is original to Wilde, though it takes some hints from Lucian of Samosata and other ancient writers; it tells a tale of transgressive sexual passion in a mythological setting in ancient Greece. Other titles to be found within this publication include 'Rome Unvisited', 'Louis Napoleon', and 'The New Remorse'.
