Swinburne's Theory of Poetry by Thomas E Connolly
"Swinburne was a far sounder and more consistent critic than he is usually given credit for being," Professor Connolly concludes, "and the various critical principles that can be discovered in his essays hang together in a more integrated theory of poetry than is usually imagined. He had, as other critics had, a number of basic principles and themes that he used with astonishing versatility in his criticism. The successful poet who is also a critic usually has a valuable contribution to make to the general understanding and appreciation of poetry. Swinburne, in this respect, was not an exception."Thomas E. Connolly is Professor of English and Vice-Chairman of the English Department at the State University of New York at Buffalo. His critical essays in English and American literature have appeared widely in scholarly journals, and among his published books are: James Joyce's Scribbledehobble: The Ur-Workbook for Finnegans Wake; Joyce's Portrait: Criticism and Critiques; The Personal Library of James Joyce: A Descriptive Bibliography; and From Ararat to Suburbia: The History of the Jewish Community of Buffalo.
