Notes
- This is the first book of critical essays on Swinburne’s poetry ever to be published, and appears at a time when interest in the art and literature of the Aesthetic Movement is growing very rapidly. With a range of theoretical and methodological approaches, the essays cover Swinburne’s work as a poet from the 1850s through to the 1880s, and represent the work of most of the best young scholars in this field. Their shared concern is to challenge T S Eliot’s subtle damnation of Swinburne whereby his writings were consigned to a peculiar realm of semantic nullity. The result is a fresh sense of Swinburne’s engagement with ideas and issues - moral, political, sexual, and aesthetic - and a new understanding of his historical specificity. Three new Swinburne poems, never previously published, are printed here for the first time
