Symphony in Yellow

About this film

LibriVox volunteers bring you 21 recordings of Symphony in Yellow by Oscar Wilde. This was the Weekly Poetry project for March 18, 2012. Oscar Wilde, an Irish author who lived for much of his life in London, is most famous for his witty, satirical plays. He also worked for some time as a journalist. Much of his poetry was written early in his career, with a notable exception being The Ballad of Reading Gaol . This poem, Symphony in Yellow , is probably one of his earlier works; in it he describes London in a flattering manner something he was disinclined to do after his trial and imprisonment. (Summary by Lucy Perry) For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.
