Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909), dramatist, novelist and
critic, was late Victorian England's unofficial Poet Laureate.
Swinburne was admired by his contemporaries for his technical
brilliance, his facility with classical and medieval forms, and his
courage in expressing his sensual, erotic imagination. He was one
of the most important Victorian poets, the founding figure for
British aestheticism, and the dominant influence for fin-de-siecle
and many modernist poets. Now available in paperback, this
collection of eleven new essays by leading international scholars
offers a thorough revaluation of this fascinating and complex
figure. It situates him in the light of current critical work on
cosmopolitanism, politics, form, Victorian Hellenism, gender and
sexuality, the arts, and aestheticism and its contested relation to
literary modernism. The essays in this collection reassess
Swinburne's work and reconstruct his vital and often provocative
contribution to the Victorian cultural debate. -- .
