Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Swinburne: A Lecture Delivered Before the University on April 30, 1909 It was no part of my scheme of lectures from this Chair to give any account, or offer any matured criticism, of poets of our own time. That is a thing that can be better done when they have fallen into perspective, when the dust of contemporary praise or blame has settled from round them, and they have taken their place among the ranks of the immortals, those who, in the words of Simonides, being dead are yet alive. But the death of Algernon Charles Swinburne has placed him in this rank; and while it may be yet too early to fix his place among the English poets, or to say with confidence how much of his poetry will remain living and classic, his place somewhere among them is assured, and his influence on the whole poetical movement of his age is no less certain than profound. Last Easter Eve marks not only the death of a poet but the end of an age in poetry: that age of which he called himself, forty-five years ago, the youngest singer, and of which he lived to be the last. Of the six great Victorian poets it is legitimate to remember here, in piety as well as in pride, that three were sons of Oxford; and I may be allowed to remember also that two of them were of ray own College. Swinburne´s name is not indeed, like Arnold´s, connected inseparably with Oxford; he went down without taking a degree, nor did he receive, in the years of his later fame, any public recognition from his mother-university.
