EDITORS COMMENTS
Stephen Phillips (1864-1915): A Victorian Poet and Playwright This evocative portrait captures the intense gaze and thoughtful demeanor of Stephen Phillips, a prolific and influential Victorian poet and playwright. Phillips is best known for his poetic works, including the dramatic verse-plays "Christ in Hades" and "The New Inferno." Born on February 13, 1864, in London, Phillips was a contemporary of other prominent literary figures of the late Victorian era, such as Oscar Wilde and W.B. Yeats. He began his literary career as a journalist, writing for various publications before turning to poetry and drama. Phillips' poetic works often explored themes of spirituality, morality, and the human condition. In "Christ in Hades," he reimagines the Christian narrative of Christ's descent into the underworld, offering a unique and thought-provoking interpretation of the story. "The New Inferno," a modern retelling of Dante's Inferno, reflects Phillips' interest in the supernatural and the afterlife. Despite his literary achievements, Phillips' life was marked by personal tragedy. He was married twice, both marriages ending in divorce, and he was plagued by financial difficulties throughout his career. Nevertheless, he continued to write and publish, leaving behind a body of work that continues to captivate readers and scholars today. Phillips' contributions to Victorian literature are an important part of the historical record of this rich and complex period in English literary history. His poetic and dramatic works offer insight into the cultural and intellectual preoccupations of the time, and continue to inspire and intrigue readers more than a century after they were first published.
