Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from John B. Leicester Warren Lord De Tabley: A Biographical Sketch
Revient. But before this connexion closed an other had Opened through George Henry Lewes, editor of the newly founded Fortnightly Rm'ew. Swinburne's Atalanta in Calydon had just been published, and in the first number of the Review a criticism of it by Warren appeared. The genius of the young poet at once appealed to Warren; and the criticism, though it noted with mild disapproval certain errors in natural history offensive to the botanist, was laudatory. The editor, however, introduced in revision a somewhat patronising phrase, referring to Swin burne as one who might claim a place among contemporaneous minor poets. The words caused Warren acute distress. He was conscious of the powerful in?uence which Swinburne ex ercised over him, and he tortured himself need lessly with the thought that this disparaging phrase would be interpreted as a slight meanly put upon one to whom he was himself indebted.
