Description:
Ernest Dowson was a major poet of the Victorian Decadent period. An alcoholic and severe depressive, he died in 1900 at the age of 32, having created much of his best work while suffering from tuberculosis. Dawson was a major figure of the "tragic generation", often writing in the company of contemporaries such as Oscar Wilde and W. B. Yeats. His life is a story of doomed love, and of the struggle to create beauty in the face of crippling adversity. Jad Adams explores how the poet's strange delights and sexual excesses were worked into his lyrical verse.
