Customer Reviews
The essence of Swinburne - Rated This collection of poetry is a wonderful introduction to the sensual work of Swinburne. Some of it is beautiful; some of it may prove shocking to those who refuse to see the beauty in the dead corpse of a loved one. Surprisingly, Swinburne creates passion and desire even where there is death and longing. His lyricism emerges from love, passion, life, but also death, in bewildering beauty almost as a splendid phoenix rises from its ashes. Most poets write of death with misery and grief as the end of everything, but Swinburne makes passion and desire live for ever. It is this unique feature of his works that make him one of the greatest Victorian poets. This is a brilliant edition, containing 75 pages of detailed and clear notes, facilitating the reader's understanding of the poem by providing annotations to biblical and mythological references and other works which influenced Swinburne.
