Swinburne's Apollo: Myth, Faith, and Victorian Spirituality. by Yisrael Levin

Focusing on Algernon Charles Swinburne's poems on Apollo, Levin calls for a re-examination of the poet's place in Victorian studies in light of his contributions to nineteenth-century intellectual history. Levin persuasively shows that Swinburne was not simply a poet provacateur who enjoyed controversy but failed to provide valid cultural commentary, but was rather a profound thinker whose insights into nineteenth-century spirituality are expressed throughout his poetry on Apollo.
