Description

Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837–1909) is, with Browning and Tennyson, one of the touchstone Victorian poets.

He was a major critic and an important fiction writer as well.

Emerging out of the Pre-Raphaelite circle, his bold and innovative work made him both a celebrated and controversial writer at home and a figure of international importance.

Hugo, Baudelaire, and Mallarmé were among his great admirers. Jerome McGann and Charles L. Sligh now present a generous sampling of Swinburne’s poetry and prose.

This wide-ranging collection satisfies a long need for a comprehensive selection of Swinburne’s work.

It is accompanied by learned and critically incisive commentaries and notes.
