Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of thought-provoking verses on politics, education, and the Irish Question, written by Charles L. Graves between 1908 and 1912. Delightfully witty and politically astute, the author employs rhyme and rhythm to critique contemporary life while illuminating the human condition and societal issues of the early 20th century. Graves' style is reminiscent of W.S. Gilbert and A.P. Herbert, with a touch of Oscar Wilde's wit and satire. This collection of poems offers a unique and insightful look at the social and political landscape of Edwardian England and Ireland.
