Situating Swinburne on the cusp of modernism, it argues that Swinburne had no personal style because he possessed all styles. His mastery of traditional verse forms promoted a level of stylistic self-awareness which the next generation of poets could not sustain. If criticism to date has found Swinburne challenging, this is because his poetry challenges criticism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than making or remaking arguments for or against Swinburne's style, Kilbride begins from a forensic investigation of 'the period ear'. Close analysis of primary works, manuscripts, reviews, obituaries, letters, manuals of prosody and other documents of Swinburne's own times attempt to reconstruct a context largely lost after the break with traditional verse-forms in the early twentieth century. From the powerful choral rhythms of \u003cem\u003eAtalanta in Calydon\u003c\/em\u003e, to the daring development of a unique form of ode in \u003cem\u003eErechtheus\u003c\/em\u003e, the reader will encounter a Swinburne previously lost to us, but whose stylistic achievements are once again brought before our ears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaura McCormick Kilbride is Research Fellow in English at Peterhouse, Cambridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 232\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 9.61 x 6.69 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 28, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646259912806,"sku":"9781781887929","price":29.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/1PkOf2ihOP9781781887929.webp?v=1779414413","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/swinburnes-style-an-experiment-in-verse-history-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
