(LARGE PRINT EDITION) 1882. This is Swinburne's version of the courtly legend and is considered by him to be his masterwork. He is one of the very few poets since the days of Raleigh and Sidney to come from the aristocracy. He is also well-known for his sexual proclivities and debauched lifestyle. In writing Tristram of Lyonesse, Swinburne found the perfect opportunity for a complete formulation of the unique synthesis of passion, pantheism, and the courtly love ethos upon which his most important philosophical intuitions were primarily founded.

Algernon Charles Swinburne was an English poet, playwright, and critic, born on April 5, 1837, in London. His works are renowned for their emotional intensity and often deal with themes of human suffering, love, and the tension between passion and reason. Swinburne s early education was shaped by his time at Eton and Balliol College, Oxford, where he befriended notable figures like Oscar Wilde. His literary career was marked by his bold exploration of taboo subjects and controversial themes, particularly in his poetry collections such as Poems and Ballads. Swinburne s dramatic works were all tragedies, reflecting his fascination with the darker aspects of the human experience. He contributed to the Eleventh Edition of the Encyclop dia Britannica and was influenced by poets like Alfred Lord Tennyson, Robert Browning, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Swinburne's personal life was often marked by health struggles and a penchant for defiance against conventional norms. He died at the age of 72 on April 10, 1909, in Putney, London, leaving behind a legacy that continues to influence English literature. His mother, Jane Henrietta Swinburne, played a significant role in his upbringing.
