Vignettes In Rhyme

Vignettes In Rhyme: And Vers De Societe (1873) is a collection of poetry by the English writer Austin Dobson. The book is divided into two parts: the first contains a series of short, witty poems in the style of the French ''vers de societe'', which were popular in the 19th century. These poems often focus on the social conventions and manners of the upper classes, and are marked by their clever wordplay and satirical tone.The second part of the book contains a series of longer narrative poems, or ''vignettes'', which often take historical or literary subjects as their inspiration. These poems are written in a more traditional style, but still display Dobson’s wit and skill with language.Overall, Vignettes In Rhyme is a charming and entertaining collection of poetry that offers a glimpse into the social and cultural world of Victorian England. Dobson’s skillful use of language and his keen eye for detail make this book a must-read for fans of 19th-century literature and poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
