{"product_id":"algernon-charles-swinburne-unofficial-laureate-9780719086250","title":"Algernon Charles Swinburne: Unofficial Laureate","description":"Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909), dramatist, novelist and critic, was late Victorian England's unofficial Poet Laureate. Swinburne was admired by his contemporaries for his technical brilliance, his facility with classical and medieval forms, and his courage in expressing his sensual, erotic imagination. He was one of the most important Victorian poets, the founding figure for British aestheticism, and the dominant influence for fin-de-siècle and many modernist poets. This collection of eleven new essays by leading international scholars offers a thorough revaluation of this fascinating and complex figure. It situates him in the light of current critical work on cosmopolitanism, politics, form, Victorian Hellenism, gender and sexuality, the arts, and aestheticism and its contested relation to literary modernism. The essays in this collection reassess Swinburne's work and reconstruct his vital and often provocative contribution to the Victorian cultural debate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Maxwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.30w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719086250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCatherine Maxwell is Professor of Victorian Literature at Queen Mary, University of LondonStefano Evangelista is Fellow and Tutor in English at Trinity College, University of Oxford.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44233573040243,"sku":"9.78072E+12","price":221.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_348069bc-d13c-4b4e-8150-62404d200bb6.jpg?v=1768743955","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/algernon-charles-swinburne-unofficial-laureate-9780719086250","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
