Items related to Swinburne
In this authoritative biography, Donald Thomas vividly portrays Algernon Charles Swinburne as the brandy-inspired orator of his youth as well as the meek versifier of his later years. With portraits of Sir Richard Burton, Burns-Jones and Trevelyan, and critical assessment of Swinburne's major works, this biography presents us with an absorbing and lively picture of both the poet and the man who lived from one century into the next with an undiminished appetite for life.

Review:
"Thomas is a reliable historian and a good writer." -- The Observer
Synopsis:
A biography of one of the most eccentric and original writers of the Victorian period. More than his contemporaries, he is considered the visible symbol of modernity in poetry and morals. Swinburne was conspicuous in appearance and behaviour and a favourite butt of newspaper caricaturists.
