Important Victorian British poet (1837–1909) whose “decadent” subject matter (including sadomasochism and lesbianism) made him one of the most controversial literary figures of his day. ALS signed “Al. Swinburne,” one page, 4.5 x 6.75, December 8, 1868. Letter to his secretary John Thomson. In part: “I shall be much obliged if you will take charge of the Coleridge ms. for me 85 forward proofs…I shall want the ms. back to correct the proofs.” Intersecting folds, scattered mild toning, and some tape to reverse, otherwise fine condition. Swinburne is referring to his introduction to Christabel and the Lyrical and Imaginative Poems of S. T. Coleridge.
