Algernon Charles Swinburne’s ‘Locrine’ is a verse drama that explores the legendary story of the British king, Locrine, his love for his mistress, Estrild, and the tragic consequences of their forbidden relationship. Swinburne’s lyrical and emotive writing style, characterized by rich imagery and passionate language, captures the essence of Romanticism in 19th-century literature. The play delves into themes of power, love, betrayal, and the destructive nature of jealousy, making it a compelling read for those interested in dramatic poetry of the Victorian era. ‘Locrine’ represents Swinburne’s mastery of poetic form, as he blends classical influences with his own unique voice to create a work that is both timeless and evocative.
