A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

The last of the Romantics, Swinburne's poems took the public by storm, intoxicated by their rhythms and shocked by his lack of restraint.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Best known for his sexually provocative Poems and Ballards Algernon Charles Swinburne was much admired throughout the nineteenth century for his daring subject matter and superb poetic craftmanship. This book introduces the reader to the work for which Swinburne is most famous, concentrating on three major collections - Poems and Ballards (1866), Songs before Sunrise (1871) and Poems and Ballards 2 (1878) - his epic poem Tristram of Lyonesse (1882) and a number of his most influential essays. Representative close readings of selected poems and essays reveal the often complex webs of reference and allusion which give his work depth and richness. Throughout, special emphasis is placed on the ways in which Swinburne challenges and compels his readers to move beyond their regular viewpoints to experience new insights and perspectives.
