Excerpt from Posthumous Poems
The poems which, with the help of Mr. Thos. J. Wise, I have endeavoured in the following pages to present, as far as possible, in chronological sequence, belong to the whole range of Swinburne's career as an author. The earliest was composed in 1857, the latest is dated 1907, and accordingly they cover, in their rapid and fluctuating passage, exactly half a century. Various circumstances, some of which will presently be told, though the majority have doubtless ceased to be discoverable, led to their being suppressed or forgotten, but none of them were destroyed by the poet, and of none of them have we found any evidence that he wished for their destruction. The only exception is the unsuccessful prize poem of 1858. This, there is reason to believe, Swinburne did wish, in the exasperation of disappointment, to wipe out of existence.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an excavation of rare and forgotten works by the reputed poet Algernon Charles Swinburne. This collection of posthumous poems, overseen by Edmund Gosse and Thomas James Wise, arranges Swinburne's later works in roughly chronological order. It opens with eleven border ballads, most likely composed around 1862â"1863. These ballads demonstrate the influence of Scott, Leyden, and other collectors of traditional border verse, showcasing Swinburne's reimaginative approach to the genre. The final section of the book contains miscellaneous poems composed throughout the author's life, including the satirical "Disgust" and the eloquent "Memorial Verses on the Death of Karl Blind." The author's early preoccupation with themes of love, mortality, and political upheaval is on full display in these later works, offering scholars and fans alike a glimpse into the evolution of his poetic vision. Through the inclusion of these lost and unpublished poems, this book adds depth to our understanding of Swinburne's literary career, offering insights into his creative process and the development of his major themes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330714591_0
