828 59780 H5 PREFACE THE better part of this Essay, together with its Appendices, was submitted to the faculty of Princeton University in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Literature, in 1915. I am especially indebted to Professor Thomas Marc Parrott for much encouragement and advice in connection with its development, both up to that time and subsequently, and to Professor Duncan Spaeth. Acknowledgment is also due to Mr. William Heinemann, the owner of the Swinburne copyrights, by whose very kind permission the quotations from Swinburne's verse and prose are used.
