Swinburnes Collected Poetical Works Vol II

Swinburne’s Collected Poetical Works Vol II (1924) – William Heinemann Edition
Sold by Crappy Old Books

Step into the decadent rhythms and fierce lyricism of Algernon Charles Swinburne with this 1924 William Heinemann edition of Collected Poetical Works Vol II. Brimming with the poet’s trademark sensuality, classical allusions, and musicality, this volume captures Swinburne at his most daring and refined.

Published in the twilight of the early 20th century, this handsome hardback is a must for lovers of Victorian verse, literary rebels, and those who prefer their poetry with a touch of scandal. Expect foxing, faded spine lettering, and the faint smell of regret—just as you’d hope from anything sold by Crappy Old Books.

Condition: Worn but noble, like a once-famous libertine.
Perfect for: Poetry enthusiasts, collectors, and romantics with a gothic streak.

Because beauty fades—but good poetry lingers like a ghost in the margins.

Obvious fading to spine and part of front cover. 1294 pages.
