A collection of Uranian sonnets from this English Anglican clergyman and poet with a "soul lodged in Hellas", a graduate of Keble College, Oxford, who died young owing to a heart condition. His poems were initially published as four pamphlets in 1883-84 and collected, in a single volume containing many more sonnets in 1885 under the present title. There followed an 1897 collection with some additional poems and a biographical sketch. The present collection, introduced by John Addington Symonds, contains the 30 sonnets from the original title collection, plus 12 others. Edward Cracroft Lefroy (1855-1891) lived a simple and uneventful life, though one in he which experienced much physical suffering. Jane Austen was the aunt of his paternal grandfather. His poetry reflects his struggle with Neo-Hellenism and his sincere Christian faith, and while he was never a practicing homosexual, he did concede in his work to finding boys more attractive than girls.Good illustrations by noted artist John Austen to title page and text.

Excerpt from Echoes From Theocritvs A few special acknowledgments are necessary. In the Echoes from Theocritus it is Bishop Wordsworth's edition of the poet to which the reference is made but I am greatly indebted to Mr. Andrew Lang's excellent prose translation for renderings of particular words and phrases which very likely I should not have lighted upon without his aid. It will be noticed that the first five sonnets have no text in the Author. The rest are founded upon some one passage in the Idyls or Epigrams. How slight the foundation often is may be ascertained by anyone curious enough to follow up the references given. The influence of Mr. F. W. H. Myers' deeply interest ing 'classical Essays will be traced in the sonnets on Virgil' and Something Lost.'
