Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909) was a 19th century British Victorian poet. His reoccurring themes of sadomasochism, death wish, lesbianism and irreligion made his work quite controversial. Swinburne went against Victorian morals and wrote of sensual love and the pain of love lost. Swinburne was greatly criticized in his time for his views on politics, religion morality and decorum. Pieces included are In Harbour -- The Way of the Wind -- Had I Wist -- Recollections -- Time and Life -- A Dialogue -- Plus Ultra -- A Dead Friend -- Past Days -- Autumn and Winter -- The Death of Richard Wagner -- Two preludes: Lohengrin -- Tristan und Isolde and many more.
