Summary: A Concise Survey of Swinburne's Poetic and Dramatic Theory
Comment: Although Connolly makes some bold, difficult to conclusively prove statements early on--including the assertion that ACS refuted "art-for-art's-sake" in favor of purely social or political themes--the majority of the book is an effective tour of Swinburnian theory at work in the poet's verse and criticism. Drawing on Swinburne's critical essays, Connolly traces an emerging poetic theory with clear examples from the poet's most controversial work, logically establishing Swinburne's unique and unwavering standard of morality. The lines of Greek classicism are well supported in Connolly's argument, offering a clear insight into the inner workings of a poet whose critical theory is consistent in both his critical and poetic work. Swinburnian's will want to add this book to their reference library.
