Best known for his sexually provocative Poems and Ballads (1866),
Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909) was much admired throughout
the 19th-century for his daring subject matter and superb poetic
craftsmanship. After a decline in popularity in the twentieth
century, his reputation has steadily recovered, and he is now
becoming more widely read and studied. This book introduces the
reader to the work for which Swinburne is most famous,
concentrating on three major collections - Poems and Ballads 1
(1866), Songs before Sunrise (1871) and Poems and Ballads 2 (1878),
as well as 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.
