Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of poems written between 1905-1908 by 13 Eton College pupils sharing a study room. It includes a humorous and irreverent take on school life, with poems such as 'Alter eris Argos' lamenting the death of the school dog, alongside more philosophical explorations of sexuality, religion and morality. The poems satirising Etonian life, for example, reflect the widespread societal debate around the elitism of public schools at the time, while the experiments with classic verse forms like the sestina show how these young writers were pushing at the boundaries of poetic form. The collection offers a unique insight into the lives and minds of a group of young people at a specific point in English history.
