Songs In The South

Songs in the South is a verse collection by Sir Rennell Rodd (1858-1941), the English diplomat and poet who served as ambassador to Italy and was a friend of Oscar Wilde in his youth. Rodd’s polished, classically tinged lyrics drew on his love of Greece and the Mediterranean. He combined a distinguished diplomatic career with a steady output of verse and scholarship. The collection reflects the cultivated aestheticism of his early years. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
