| | RPO -- Selected Poetry of Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | 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. |
