The elegant verse and subtle observation of the Amores, The Art of Love, and The Cures of Love made their author the talk of Rome. Ovid saw love as a game at which both sexes could play without getting hurt - as long as they stuck to his rules, but primarily he wrote these sparkling and often erotic poems to entertain, and after two thousand years they still give enormous pleasure.

This authoritative edition was formerly published in the acclaimed Oxford Authors series under the general editorship of Frank Kermode. It brings together a unique combination of Wilde's poetry and prose short stories, plays, critical dialogues and his only novel - to give the essence of his work and thinking.

First published as a World's classics paperback in 1997.

A collection of poems of the author whose genres span love poetry, war poetry, nature poetry, elegies, satires, verse epistles, and poems that reflect on art and the art of poetry.

By turns joyful and despairing, this title presents some of the twentieth century's greatest verse on fleeting youth, fervent hopes and futile sacrifice.
