Swinburne, Algernon Charles
View through CrossRef
Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837–1909) is commonly dismissed as the bad boy of Victorian poetry, assaulting standards of sexual propriety especially with the publication of
Poems and Ballads
(1866). Born into England's upper classes, he pursued a literary career of great distinction and accomplishment, though he has yet to receive in either the popular or the academic mind the recognition he deserves. That is in part a consequence of his fiery agitation of Victorian values, but is also in part a consequence of such a modernist as T. S. Eliot, whose strictures, now resisted by modern scholars, have shaped Swinburne's critical standing for almost a century.
