Beschreibung

In "For Love of the King: A Burmese Masque," Oscar Wilde crafts a lyrical and engaging exploration of themes such as love, betrayal, and the interplay between power and vulnerability. Set against the backdrop of the British colonial experience in Burma, this dramatic work showcases Wilde's distinctive style through rich imagery and poignant dialogue, reflecting the influence of both Symbolism and Aestheticism. Wilde's attention to theatricality and vibrant characterization offers a critique of imperialism while immersing readers in the exotic and complex culture of Burma, highlighting the emotional and moral dilemmas faced by its characters. Oscar Wilde, a luminary of the late 19th century, drew upon his own experiences and observations of society to inform his writing. His time spent in Europe and engagement with various artistic movements imbued him with a keen sensitivity to the human condition, allowing him to explore deep psychological and social themes. "For Love of the King" was inspired by Wilde's fascination with the East and his advocacy for the blending of artistic forms, a reflection of his pursuit of beauty and truth in literature. This remarkable masque is highly recommended for those who appreciate the intricate interplay of emotion and culture in literature. Wilde's masterful treatment of complex themes invites thoughtful reflection and engagement, making it a fitting addition to the canon of both dramatic and colonial literature. Readers who cherish lyrical prose interwoven with potent social commentary will find Wilde's work an indispensable experience.

    concussed, from the mirror. I edged like a feverwith nothing on the tip of my tongue.

    An exotic and ambitious collection in which deceptively simple structures are built to carry an impressive weight of interest and reference. – Andrew Motion
    The guardian spirit of this book is a mahogany sculpture called Eve, part of the permanent collection in the Graves Art Gallery in Sheffield. She's looking over her shoulder. Her gaze takes in journeys across the Atlantic, beaches in the Caribbean, a boarding school in Yorkshire, departures and arrivals, home- comings, a grandmother buried in Port of Spain, two brothers on the Orinoco, Hindu gods and goddesses, runaways, castaways, slaves, a cartographer who never leaves his room, mothers and sons, fathers and sons, and a goat pulling a bishop on a sledge…
    Alan Payne's poems are rooted in the Caribbean, evoking a sense of separation and loss, and touch on the contradictions and betrayals of colonialism.
