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)
