Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of poems was written by George Meredith, an English novelist and poet of the Victorian era, who was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature seven times. His style, in both poetry and prose, was noted for its syntactic complexity; Oscar Wilde likened it to "chaos illumined by brilliant flashes of lightning". Here, his poems are inspired by earthbound and skybound elements, with titles such as Lucifer in Starlight and A Ballad of Fair Ladies in Revolt.
