Replica of 1907 edition by Chatto & Windus, London. | | Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909), list of works | |  | | Rebellious against the norms of Victorian Britain, Swinburne earned praise for his dramas but scandal for his sensuous lyrics. Alcoholism and epilepsy contributed to his social estrangement, and while he saw success as a poet, playwright, and essayist, his reported fondness for masochism and bestiality brought him scandal and censure. In such better-known works as his Poems and Ballads and Songs before Sunrise, Swinburne addressed themes in romance and politics. |
