Algeron Charles Swinburne is noted as founder and promoter of English literary symbolism, his many works of literature and poetry, and his brilliant essay on William Blake, without which Blake would never have become an ideal for a whole school of poets and writers. From wrapper: "Swinburne frequently expressed his intention to gather in one volume his poems of child life. He died without having found occasion to do this. Edmund Gosse has carried out the poet's plan, and Arthur Rackham, whose dlecate and romantic fancy is in sensitvie harmony with Swinburne's, and who understands no less than he did, how 'the face and the voice of a child are assurance of heaven,' has given exquisite interpretation to these flowers of the poet's imagination. Overs of the beautiful in poetry will find this volume a rare addition to their treasures." Printed at The Complete Press, West Norwood, London. 133 pages. Insured post.
