Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Oxford Year: And Other Oxford Poems
About half the compositions in this volume have appeared in various periodicals, chiefly the Oxford Magazine and the old Oxford Review in the days when it was a weekly and not a daily paper. Certain allusions may perhaps be a little obsolete to the present generation, such as that, for instance, to the 'blue testamur.' But in all these cases it has been thought better to leave the verses as they were originally written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
