Kottabos. [A College Miscellany]

Book Overview

Kottabos was a celebrated Dublin University magazine, a miscellany of wit and verse published from 1869 to 1893. Edited by Robert Yelverton Tyrrell, a noted classical scholar, it featured contributions from students and faculty of Trinity College, Dublin, including Oscar Wilde in its early years. The magazine's title derives from an ancient Greek game of skill and chance.

This collection provides a glimpse into the intellectual and humorous life of late-19th-century Dublin. Its contents include light verse, parodies, and satirical pieces, reflecting the social and cultural concerns of its time. Kottabos offers a unique perspective on the literary landscape of Ireland and the vibrant community of Trinity College.
