The poetry of Walter Savage Landor spans the final years of the Enlightenment to the greatest achievements of the Victorian Empire. Landor is now regarded as a 'poet's poet', whose sensitive and beautiful poetry won the admiration of Browning, Yeats, Ezra Pound and Robert Frost. His celebrated love poems were inspired by a succession of female romantic ideals - Ione, Ianthe, Rose Aylmer and Rose Paynter - while his "domestic" poems concerning his sister and children reveal equal finesse. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature's finest poets, with superior formatting. This volume presents Landor's collected poetical works, with beautiful illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

Über den Autor Walter Savage Landor

Walter Savage Landor (1775-1864) was an English writer and poet, renowned for his prose and verse that articulated his personal ideals. His literary style is distinguished by its classical leanings and its embrace of republican principles, which is evident in his evocative prose and meticulously structured verse. Landor's 'Gebir' (1798), a narrative poem in seven books, won acclaim for its rich, poetic language and was celebrated for its heroic themes and exotic landscape. It influenced subsequent generations, including the Romantics, with Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron being notable admirers. Later in his career, Landor penned 'Count Julian' (1812), a tragedy dealing with themes of revenge and justice, which further cemented his status as a literary figure. Landor's output across various genres reveals a versatile talent engaged in the pressing intellectual and political discourses of his time. His contributions to literature have since carved out a distinct place within the Romantic era, making his works essential reading for those interested in the period's literary achievements.
