Read in English by Rob Marland; Larry Wilson; Phil Schempf; Hernandez; Valentina Vocelli; Andrew Gaunce; Connie Bettison; Alan Mapstone; Shreya Sethi; Lynda Marie Neilson; Emmi Kranz; The Scholar of No Importance This is a chronologically arranged collection of poems compiled by the author in his late 40s, after he had discarded the Uranian themes of his youth. Douglas was primarily a sonneteer, and this collection features shorter poems about love, hatred, nature, religion, death, and even the art of poetry itself. It does not include Two Loves, the poem made famous by Oscar Wilde’s defence of it in his 1895 trials. - Summary by Rob Marland
