Rhymes a la Mode by Andrew Lang
QR code
"Rhymes a la Mode" by Andrew Lang is a collection of poetic works written during the late 19th century, likely within the Victorian era. The book features a variety of lyrical forms, including ballades, sonnets, and rondeaux, exploring themes of art, nature, love, and the passage of time, often with a humorous or satirical touch. Andrew Lang, known for his literary contributions and collections of folklore, captures both the spirit of his
time and the timelessness of human experience in this compilation. In "Rhymes a la Mode," Lang presents a medley of verses that reflect on the intricacies of life and art through various poetic forms. Organized into sections like "Art," "Science," and "Cameos," the poems take readers on a journey through personal reflections, social commentary, and mythological allusions. Pieces such as "The Fortunate Islands" and "Almae Matres" delve into paradise and nostalgia, while others like "Ballade of Middle Age" humorously critique the illusions of youth and the discoveries of adulthood. With a mixture of playful romance and sharp wit, Lang's collection weaves a rich tapestry of thoughts, beckoning readers to ponder their own experiences and the world around them.
