Abstract

330 / VICTORIAN POETRY new scholarly resources for students of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Morris have given rise to critical studies which present Morris as a precursor of radical assessments of the spirit of his age and ours. Swinburne YISRAEL LEVIN AND MARGOT K. LOUIS When reviewing the Swinburnean materials published over the last five years or so, one cannot but notice the shift that has been taking place among Swinburne scholars. Together with the on-going interest in his sexuality and radical politics, readers of Swinburne seem to be concerned with a greater range of issues that arise from his work. The past year was not different in this regard, as Swinburne's poetry and fiction were discussed in a growing variety of contexts. From his personal and artistic relationships with other literary figures, to his innovative aesthetics, conceptions of spirituality, and his place in current critical theory debates, contemporary Swinburne scholarship seems to be as diverse as his corpus. Probably one of the most interesting articles in this year's review is Carol Poster's "`If thou art God, avenge thyself!': Sade and Swinburne as Christian Atheists" (Straight Writ Queer, ed. Richard Fantina [Jefferson, North Carolina: McFarland, 2006] ,
