Algernon Charles Swinburne, a Balliol man of brilliance who studied under Jowett, was in possession of uneven talents. A true Shelleyan, here is one of his enjoyably worst, utterly dreadful, poems to that 'poet beloved above all other poets, being beyond all other poets'.
Shelleyan 17 is among my favourites. For A. C. Swinburne (1837-1909), Shelley was an unquestionable genius. 'Notes on the Text of Shelley' is a supreme work of criticism and advocacy: 'It is seldom that the work of a scholiast is so soon wanted as in Shelley's case it has been'.
