The Ballad of Beau Brocade and Other Poems of the 18th Century

1892. Dobson, English poet and man of letters, revives the spirit of the 18th century in The Ballad of Beau Brocadeas as nowhere else in modern English poetry. In Beau Brocade, indeed, the pictorial quality of his work, the dainty economy of eloquent touches, is at its very best: every couplet has its picture, and every picture is true and vivacious. Contents: The Ballad of Beau Brocade; A Gentleman of the Old School; A Gentlewoman of the Old School; A Dead Letter; The Old Sedan Chair; The Ladies of St. James's; Molly Trefusis; and A Chapter of Froissart.
