Produktbeschreibung

Songs of the Springtides is a collection of poems written by Algernon Charles Swinburne and published in 1880. The book is divided into two parts, with the first section focusing on the arrival of spring and the second section exploring themes of love and desire. The poems in Songs of the Springtides are characterized by their vivid imagery and use of rich and complex language. Swinburne's writing is known for its musicality and rhythm, and this collection is no exception. The poems explore a range of emotions, from joy and exuberance to melancholy and longing. Many of the poems in Songs of the Springtides were inspired by classical mythology, and Swinburne frequently references figures such as Apollo and Venus. The book also includes several sonnets, which are known for their strict form and structure. Overall, Songs of the Springtides is a celebration of nature and the changing of the seasons, as well as an exploration of the complexities of human emotion. It is a landmark work in the Victorian era and remains a beloved classic of English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
