  Algernon Swinburne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Algernon Charles Swinburne (April 5, 1837 – April 10, 1909) was a Victorian era English poet.
It was Swinburne's misfortune that the two works, published when he was nearly 30, soon established him as England's premier poet, the successor to Alfred, Lord Tennyson and Robert Browning.
Swinburne may have been one of the first people not to trust anyone over thirty.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Swinburne, Algernon Charles
Algernon Charles Swinburne was born on 5 April 1837 in London.
Swinburne's magnificent variety of metres and aural effects, and his conspicuous anthropological and classical erudition, could hardly be denied; but critical resistance to his vision and choice of topics then and since has deterred many readers from engaging with his work deeply and recognizing the clarity and complexity of his thought.
Swinburne was extremely ill of alcoholic dysentery when his friend of seven years, the solicitor Theodore Watts, took Swinburne to his own home in Putney (a suburb of London) and then to Swinburne's mother at Holmwood.

Algernon Charles Swinburne was interested in flagellation, sadomasochism, bisexuality, and lesbianism, not only for their erotics but also as gestures of social and cultural rebellion.
Swinburne was a masochist and a flagellant who enjoyed visits to the flagellation brothels of London, particularly an establishment named "Verbena Lodge." He was fascinated by lesbianism and bisexuality not only for their erotics but because he interpreted them as gestures of social and cultural rebellion.
Swinburne remained devoted to the romantic ideal of the supremacy of the imagination even as his political beliefs turned sharply to the right in his old age.

Uncollected Letters of Algernon Charles Swinburne adds more than 550 letters to the canon that were not available when Cecil Y Lang published his collection of Swinburne letters in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837—1909) set out to challenge the proprieties of his Victorian contemporaries in every way: from the explicit sexuality and blasphemy of his early poetry to his political radicalism and his enthusiasms for such then uncanonical writers as Blake, Shelley and the Elizabethan dramatists surrounding Shakespeare.
Among Swinburne’s correspondents were such writers and artists as John Morley, Simeon Solomon, Lord Tennyson, Ford Madox Brown, Edward Burne-Jones, the Rossettis (Dante Gabriel, Christina, and William Michael) and William Morris.

Swinburne suffered a breakdown in the 1870s but continued to write, in genres ranging from lyric poetry and satire to pornography, for the remainder of his life.

Swinburne had certain masochistic tendencies that, combined with his chronic epilepsy and his alcoholism, seriously undermined his health.
He was restored to health under the supervision of Theodore Watts-Dunton, with whom he lived after 1879.
Swinburne’s critical work is marred by exaggerated vituperation and praise, digressiveness, and a flamboyant style, but he performed useful services in stimulating just appreciation of older English dramatists and of William Blake.

Born in London the son of an admiral, Swinburne spent his childhood years on the Isle of Wight.
Unquestionably, Swinburne's work made a break with the Victorian lyricism of Tennyson et al and he was, perhaps, the first true modern poet in terms of the content of his work.
Rescued from alcoholism and almost certainly an early grave by Theodore Watts-Dunton in 1879, Swinburne continued to write continuously and his output was truly impressive.

Swinburne was born April 5, 1837, in London, the child of an admiral, Captain Charles Henry Swinburne, and Lady Henrietta Swinburne.
This news much disappointed Swinburne and is perhaps reflected in poems like "Dolores." In 1865 Swinburne brought out Chastelard, a Tragedy, the first part of a Mary Queen of Scots trilogy, to be completed by Bothwell (1874), and Mary Stuart (1881).
Swinburne defended his poems as art for the sake of art, and his interests in sado-masochism as impersonal, in Notes on Poems and Reviews; and W. Rossetti followed suit in Swinburne's Poems and Ballads: A Criticism the same year.

She argues that some of Swinburne's earlier poems treat death negatively, while later works deal with death more positively and suggest that it is necessary and leads to the renewal of life.
Although she is traditionally linked with the regeneration of nature and the renewal of life, Swinburne instead portrays her as the queen of death and destruction.
This view of Proserpine is also celebrated in Swinburne's "Hymn to Proserpine," where she is associated with night, darkness, and sleep.

Swinburne became famous for his choral verse drama Atalanta in Calydon, an ambitious conjuring of Greek tragedy exemplifying his absolute command of sustained verbal melody.
His libertarian themes and sadomasochistic allusions shocked the establishment and Poems and Ballads, celebrating physical love, was at the centre of one of the most famous literary scandals of the time.

 [minstrels] A Forsaken Garden -- Algernon Charles Swinburne
Which is not to say that Swinburne is a pure (and hence empty) stylist - it's just that in most of his poems, the dazzling, dancing patterns of stresses and rhymes and words-for-their-own-sake tend to overshadow the poem's "content".
I think most of what bothered me about the poem was Swinburne's attempt to combine images of sterility and decay.
The former is brilliantly done; the garden seems all the more forsaken for having entered that state of changeless equilibrium where time ceases to have a meaning, and it is abandoned to the cold winds of eternity.
