Summary "Songs Before Sunrise" by Algernon Charles Swinburne is a collection of poems written during the late 19th century. The work is an impassioned exploration of themes such as revolution, freedom, and the Republican ideals surrounding Italy, reflective of the political landscape of its time. With a strong connection to historical figures, particularly the revolutionary Joseph Mazzini—who is honored in the dedication—the poems convey a sense of yearning for social justice and national unity. The opening of this collection weaves a rich tapestry of imagery and emotion, beginning with a dedication that expresses gratitude to Mazzini for his influence. The first poem, "Prelude," sets a contemplative tone, contemplating the interplay between youth, time, and the profound desire for freedom and self-knowledge. It speaks to the struggles of the human soul while invoking the spirit of revolutionary fervor. As the reader delves deeper, they encounter a call to action and an eloquent expression of hope amidst tumultuous times, foreshadowing the strong voice that Swinburne channels throughout the collection.
