Reviews

Candid, ambitious and sympathetic, this is a confident and often eloquent volume on a writer who keeps resisting the explanations that we are told best account for him. Immaculately edited, it earns its place among the best of modern writing in Algernon Charles Swinburne - poet and enigma. Francis O'Gorman, Times Literary Supplement, Mischief and other minds, 10/01/2014 -- . It encourages those interested in Swinburne's work to read him in many different ways and take part in the effort of mapping his vast poetic and critical corpus. -- Yisrael Levin.
