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. 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.
