Imaginary Conversations and Poems: A Selection
Imaginary Conversations and Poems: A Selection gathers the best of Walter Savage Landor, the English writer whose dialogues between historical figures were published in several series from 1824 onward. Here Marcellus speaks with Hannibal, Queen Elizabeth with Cecil, Henry VIII with Anne Boleyn, Diogenes with Plato, Leofric with Godiva, Dante with Beatrice, Epicurus with his pupils, and Southey with Landor himself, among many others, on statecraft, love, philosophy and the writing of verse. The selection also includes The Pentameron, five days of talk between Boccaccio and Petrarch about Dante, and a group of Landor's short poems, including the lines to Wordsworth, Dickens and Browning. Landor wrote a prose of unusual weight and finish. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
