British Literature

A Study of Shakespeare, published in 1880 by Algernon Charles Swinburne, is a critical examination of William Shakespeare's poetic style and metric forms. Swinburne analyzes the evolution of Shakespeare's writing across three distinct periods, addressing contemporary debates about authorship and authenticity. The work serves as a foundational text in literary criticism, using the metaphor of an uncharted sea to describe the complexities of Shakespeare's oeuvre.
