Locrine - A Tragedy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781438536224)

Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909) was a 19th century British Victorian poet. His reoccurring themes of sadomasochism, death wish, lesbianism and irreligion made his work quite controversial. Swinburne went against Victorian morals and wrote of sensual love and the pain of love lost. Swinburne was greatly criticized in his time for his views on politics, religion morality and decorum. Locrine a tragedy is written in an unusual form of rhyme. Locrine is the oldest of King Brutus's three sons. Locrine is given England except for Cornwall to rule. When Locrine is victorious he finds a woman in the enemy camp and makes her his mistress. He is warned to remain faithful to his betrothed but he does not.
