Résumé

Résumé : "Poems & Ballads" by Algernon Charles Swinburne is a seminal work that delves into the complex themes of love, death, and desire. The collection, first published in 1866, is renowned for its bold exploration of taboo subjects and its innovative use of language and form. Swinburne's poetry is characterized by its musicality, rich imagery, and emotional intensity. The poems often juxtapose beauty and decay, reflecting the Victorian era's fascination with the macabre and the sensual. In "Laus Veneris," Swinburne reimagines the legend of Tannhäuser, exploring the tension between earthly desires and spiritual redemption. "The Triumph of Time" contemplates the relentless passage of time and the inevitability of loss, while "Hymn to Proserpine" reflects a pagan lament for the decline of the old gods in the face of Christianity. Swinburne's work is marked by a preoccupation with the dualities of pleasure and pain, life and death, and the transient nature of human experience. His use of classical references and mythological allusions adds depth to his exploration of these universal themes. The collection's controversial reception upon its release highlights the tension between Victorian moral sensibilities and Swinburne's avant-garde approach to poetry. Despite initial criticism, "Poems & Ballads" has endured as a significant contribution to English literature, influencing subsequent generations of poets and solidifying Swinburne's reputation as a master of lyrical and dramatic verse.
