Literary Mystery Solved

In the London Times Literary
Supplement Edmund Gosse gives the
solution of a mystery that has fol
many years puzzled those interested
in the literature of the 10Th century
To quote his words:
ION Aug. 4. 1866, there appeared
in the Saturday Review a long arti.
Gle on Mr.. Swinburne's New Poems.
which caused a sensation rarely ex-
perienced in literary circles. 1t was
a scathing review of Poems and
Ballads and in consequence of il
the publishers (Moxon & Coz curt
ly informed the poet the following
Monday that they had that morning
(Aug. 81 withdrawn the volume
from sale. They did this. as Swim
burne complained. without consult
ing, without warning. and without
compensation the prey of sudden
panic and fear of prosecution"
who wrote this famous review,
which mot merely transformed the
fortunes OF that particular edition
or volume. but created a prejudiced
conception of the poet from which
he suffered to the end of his life"
The surprising answer is, John Nor
ley. He admitted it to Mr.. Gesse.
