Particularly known for his verse dramas, English poet and playwright Gordon Bottomley began writing poetry in the 1890s and was influenced by the Romantic poets, Rossetti and Algernon Swinburne. The poems collected here "were written to be spoken before, between, and after a series of choric plays (The Singing Sands, Towie Castle, Ardvorlich's Wife) when they had their first performance in Mr. John Masefield's garden-theatre at The Boar's Hill Festival of Spoken Poetry in 1929."
