Synopsis

Excerpt from Swinburne: A Critical Study

Poems and Ballads shocked and intoxicated a public as wide as any which an English poet has startled or delighted without being something more, that is something less, than a poet.

The error was thus quite natural, but Swinburne, far from being the herald of a new age of poetry, was of all his group the most firmly bound by sympathy to the past. As an artist he was working and was to work under no modern in?uences but those of Hugo, of Gautier, of Baudelaire, and of his elders in the pre-raphaelite group no writer, English or French, born after 1840 was to in?uence him at all, or even seriously to interest him otherwise than through Occasional appeal to the old enthusiasms. As a revolutionary he seemed to the young men of the ''sixties and early ''seventies the prophet of a revolt that would sweep away the Old world to create a new.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

As I am trying to point out elsewhere, in a book on the poets of the generation next after that to which Swinburne belonged, the error of those who took him in the sixties for the forerunner of a new movement was natural enough. Although the youngest of his group, Swinburne was the first member of it to attract general attention. The Germ had appeared while he was yet a schoolboy, The Oxford and Cambridge Magazine before he proceeded to the University ;but neither of these short-lived periodicals had been much heeded by the general public.
