In this new biography of one of the most eccentric and, at best, most original writers of the Victorian period, Donald Thomas vividly portrays Algernon Charles Swinburne as a fiery, brandy-inspired or later of his youth – and also as the meek versifier of his later years." Rubbing of the book corners with softening and rubbing of the back strip. The book panels show some flecking and dark the to the lower edge. Light age toning of the text block edges and pages with a strip of darkening to the free end pages – commensurate with the ending of the laminate of the dustwrapper.
