Charles Algernon Swinburne was a London born poet who was known for his
libertarian themes and stylistic virtuosity.
His Poems and Ballads, published in 1866, created one of the biggest
literary scandals of the Victorian period for Swinburne attempted to celebrate
physical love and the life of the senses in the spirit of the ancient Greek
lyric poets and certain French contemporaries. Some of the poems in the
collection demonstrate his ability to shock.
