| Publisher Description: 1875. A collection of verse by the poet Swinburne who is one of the very few, since the days of Raleigh and Sidney, to come from the aristocracy. He was also well-known for his sexual proclivities and debauched lifestyle. The title poem, Laus Veneris, explores the theme of the destructive power of Venus's love.
