Poetry that everyone should read!

This collection of A. C. Swinburne's poetry is exceptional, especially since it is very difficult to find a collection of Swinburne's poetry outside of anthologies and libraries. This is perfect for individuals who are new to Swinburne's poetry because notes to the poetry and a chronology of Swinburne's life are included to help answer some questions. Swinburne possesses an unusual dexterity in meter and rhythm, which makes him an extraordinary poet. This collection is well-organized and fairly complete; the only disappointment is that the editor failed to include "Ave Atque Vale" - one of his most notable poems.
