Zusatztext O'Gorman's handsome tome is an editorial feat that gives proportinate representation to all Swineburne's phases from the 1850s to the Edwardian period. ... The edition samples iconic poems and pivotal essays whilst recalibrating the Swinburne canon by including obscure yet fascinating work. The mixing of genres according to a rough chronological order offers a panoramic view of Swinburne's development and thematic concerns.
