- Title
The Irony of Swinburne's Atalanta in Calydon.
- Authors
BARR, ALAN P.
- Abstract
The article offers poetry criticism of the poem “Atalanta in Calydon” by Victorian writer Algernon Charles Swinborne. It explores the poem's similarity to a Greek tragedy and the lack of discussion about the poem's use of irony. The author provides evidence of irony in the poem and cites specific events within the poem as well as themes such as love, the use of "division" and allusions to Greek tragedies such as "Oedipus."
