Dowson biography ably fills a void,
By JD Nathan (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Madder Music, Stronger Wine: The Life of Ernest Dowson, Poet and Decadent (Tauris Parke Paperbacks) (Paperback)
A solid effort that does a fine job of exploring the life of a very talented but rather mysterious figure in English poetry. Given the dearth of documentation available, Adams ably explores Downson's life and the artistic circle of which he was a part. The one weakness is the relative lack of attention paid to the poems themselves. Though they aren't ignored, Adams doesn't do much to enhance our understanding of the works that are likely to keep Dowson's name familiar to poetry lovers for generations to come. Still, the books offers a wonderful look at its subject and the many talent writers who were part of the brief but brillant Decadent period in British literature.
