Author:Algernon Charles Swinburne
Works
[edit]The following list of works is based on A Bibliography of the Writings in Prose and Verse of Algernon Charles Swinburne (1912), by Thomas J. Wise, in 2 volumes. Where individual works were originally published separately or in periodicals but then subsequently included in collections, these have been included only in the latter.
Wise was subsequently discovered to have forged a number of publications by Swinburne (and of others). These are supposed issues of individual, genuine poems by Swinburne. The forgeries are identified in An Enquiry Into the Nature of Certain Nineteenth Century Pamphlets (1934), by John Carter and Graham Pollard, and, in an updated version of that work, A Sequel to an Enquiry Into the Nature of Certain Nineteenth Century Pamphlets (1992), by Nicolas Barker and John Collins. The works identified as forgeries in these two books have been omitted.
All of Swinburne's transcribed poems are listed, alphabetically by title, on a sub-page.
