Sir Herbert Grierson’s essay is at once a memory and a tribute; a memory of the effect, almost the electric shock, which Swinburne’s poetry had upon young men when it first appeared, and a tribute to the verbal felicity which was always at the poet's command.
Sir Herbert began his career as a Professor in I894 at Aberdeen. He was Professor of Rhetoric and English Literature at Edinburgh University for twenty years (I915-35) and Rector of Edinburgh University from 1936-9.
Best remembered for his masterly editing of Donne's Poems (1912), perhaps his greatest single work, and the Letters of Sir Walter Scott, Sir Herbert has, over the years, published a succession of commentaries on English Literature, of which perhaps the best known is Cross Currents in English Literature of the XVIIth Century (r929). Among his anthologies, every undergraduate knows his Metaphysical Lyrics and Poems of the XVIIth Century--Donne to Butler, and The English Parnassus which he edited with Prof. W. M. Dixon. He has pupils all over the world who honour his gifts as a teacher, and who eagerly welcome everything he publishes. His appreciation of Swinburne, being, as it is, a fragment of autobiography as well as a critical commentary, will cause some to refresh their memory of Poems and Ballads and Atalanta in Calydon, and others to pursue the many aspects of a wayward genius.
