Description - A Century Of Roundels by Algernon Charles Swinburne
A hush of candlelit rooms and moonlit shores, a century later the old music still speaks. A Century Of Roundels gathers the lyric fire of Swinburne, restored with care for today and tomorrow. This is more than a poetry collection; it is a lucid doorway into nineteenth century verse, where love and beauty roam beside mortality and time. Swinburne's music-dense with art and symbolism, lightened by wit and daring cadence-sits within a Victorian England setting that invites both casual readers and serious students and scholars to savour lyric poetry at once intimate and sweeping. The poems move with a painter's eye and a troubadour's heart, offering reflections on passion, faith, and the fragility of existence, and inviting comparison with the Rossetti circle and Tennyson contemporaries. Alpha Editions' edition is a careful act of preservation: out of print for decades and now republished for today's audiences, restored for today's discovery and tomorrow's appreciation. More than a reprint, it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, a gateway to a cherished era that continues to resonate. Whether you seek the mood of Victorian poetry or a scholarly touchstone, this volume speaks clearly to poetry lovers and to students and scholars alike, a succinct, moving bridge between past and present.
