Algernon Charles Swinburne - Chasteland, A Tragedy: ?Wind is lord and change is sovereign of the strand.?

Algernon Charles Swinburne, born into a wealthy family, gained prominence in the literary world with his verse dramas and the notable "Atalanta in Calydon." His works are characterized by intense lyricism, intricate imagery, and bold rhythms, though he faced criticism for "indecent" themes. Struggling with health issues and alcoholism, he was cared for by friend Theodore Watts-Dunton, who helped him recover but limited his creative output. Swinburne's legacy includes significant literary criticism and a lasting impact on poetry before his death in 1909.
