Best known for his fine use of meter and eccentric personality, Algernon Charles Swinburne was one of the best-known poets of Victorian-era England. Edited by John Walsh of Indiana University, the Swinburne Project currently contains four volumes of Swinburne's poems, two volumes of his prose from the Bonchurch Edition of _The Complete Works of Algernon Charles Swinburne_, and his second classical drama, _Erechtheus_. The online works can be searched by word, phrase, stanza, or paragraph. The site also features a chronology of Swinburne's life, including information about when his key works were composed. Readers unfamiliar with his work may do well to browse through some of his poetry, or perhaps take a look at some of his well-received criticism, which includes studies of Ben Jonson and Shakespeare and his contemporaries.
