  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.

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.

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.

 RPO -- Selected Poetry of Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909)
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.

 [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.

The poet Algernon Swinburne was born in London, just east of his Primary Uranus and in the center of a narrowly focused Transcendental Midpoint-Field extending from Uranus, which rises over western England, to Tertiary Venus, which rises a few degrees east of England.
In their simplest denomination, Swinburne’s Transcendentals denote mastery of “structure” (Saturn), “sensitivity to beauty” (Venus), and “ingenious, avant-guard inspiration” (Uranus).

When Swinburne's Poems & Ballads was first published in 1866, he was castigated as the 'libidinous laureate of a pack of satyrs'.
The themes of moral, spiritual and political rebellion, and sometimes sadistic and blasphemous subject matter -- "Thou has conquered, O pale Galilean" -- goaded the Victorian reading public to fury.
With his imaginative experiments in both the classical and romantic traditions, his luxurious imagery and metrical pyrotechnics, Swinburne has found new admirers in an age which his outrageous virtuosity, as demonstrated in this generous selection of hs verse, speaks to those sickened by the conventions of the late twentieth century.
