Ballad of Reading Gaol

By Oscar Wilde

Release : 1904-01-01

Genre : Poetry, Books, Fiction & Literature

Kind : ebook

4.5 (0 ratings)
The Ballad of Reading Gaol deals with the harsh realities of prison and with the even harsher reality of an execution, the taking of a human life, through legal means, by fellow humans. The world depicted in this poem is light-years away from the affluent drawing rooms in which his social comedies are set. It is equally distant from the fantasy worlds of his other poetry and his fairy tales.
