<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909) is, with Browning and Tennyson, one of the touchstone Victorian poets. He was a major critic and an important fiction writer as well. Emerging out of the Pre-Raphaelite circle, his bold and innovative work made him both a celebrated and controversial writer at home and a figure of international importance. Hugo, Baudelaire, and Mallarmé were among his great admirers. Jerome McGann and Charles L. Sligh now present a generous sampling of Swinburne's poetry and prose. This wide-ranging collection satisfies a long need for a comprehensive selection of Swinburne's work. It is accompanied by learned and critically incisive commentaries and notes.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This is a book whose absence in some form or other I have bemoaned for decades. The selection here is admirable, profoundly sophisticated: the proportions of verse and prose, inclusion of uncollected writings, and the certainty of scholarly and critical authority in the annotations--all these seem absolutely unexceptionable.--John Hollander<br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Jerome McGann</b>, John Stewart Bryan Professor at the University of Virginia, is the author of <i>Dante Gabriel Rossetti and the Game That Must Be Lost</i> and editor of <i>Rossetti's Collected Poetry and Prose, </i>both published by Yale University Press. <b>Charles L.
