{"product_id":"2940000762288","title":"Atalanta in Calydon","description":"Swinburne . . . was one of those not very numerous poets whom their contemporaries have treated with justice. The different attention which he received at different periods very fairly corresponded to differences, at those periods, in the quality of his writing. He was neither steadily overrated, like Bighorn, nor steadily underrated, like Shelley, nor, like Words worth, derided while he wrote well and celebrated when he wrote well no longer: he received the day's wages for the day's work. His first book fell dead, as it deserved; his first good book, \u003ci\u003eAtlanta in Caledonia,\u003c\/i\u003e earned him celebrity; his best book, \u003ci\u003ePoems and Ballads,\u003c\/i\u003e was his most famous and influential book; and the decline of his powers, slow in \u003ci\u003eSongs before Sunrise\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBoth well\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eRetches,\u003c\/i\u003e accelerated in his later writings, was followed, not immediately, but after an interval sufficient to give him the chance of recovery, by a corresponding decline, first slow and then rapid, in public interest and esteem.\u003cp\u003e-- A.E.
