DESCRIPTION - With the growing reputation of this, Swinburne's one completed novel, a fresh and intriguing facet of his genius has come to light. Centering upon a great English family, its members bound together both by ties of blood and by near - incestuous attraction, Love's Cross - Currents offers the reader access to a world explored by no other Victorian writer: the closed inner circle of the British aristocracy, a hermetic society with its own inbred code of manners and morals, its own peculiar emotional climate. In the unfolding of this intricate tale of passion and calculation, the reader encounters a brilliant series of character portraits, and a superb depiction of shifting human relationships. Termed by Edmund Wilson as 'unique in English Victorian fiction,' and praised by Marya Zaturenska for 'its true sophistication, its crisp, cool style,' this long - neglected masterpiece bears the stamp of one of the most remarkable writers of his time. inventory #27552.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. x, 258 pp. First Edition, 1905. "Of the four attempts at the composition of a novel, Love's Cross-Currents was the only one published in the author's lifetime. Written between 1862 and 1863 the epistolary novel was not published until 1877, when it was serialized in the Tatler between August and December, with the title A Year's Letters, by Mrs. Horace Manners, the difficulty experienced in finding a publisher being not a little aggravated by the author's insistence on anonymity. The work was reprinted in book form as Love's Cross-Currents in 1905, and at that time acknowledged as being by Swinburne (Burnet)." Faded spine with lightly rubbed boards, and age-toned bottom and fore- text block edges. Clean, tight and strong binding with no underlining, highlighting or marginalia. Blue beveled cloth with gilt lettering to spine, and gilt top text block edge. Size: 8vo. Book.
