Edited sentence: After the first Poems and Ballads, Swinburne's later poetry is devoted more to politics and philosophy.He also wrote poems in favour of the unification of Italy, particularly in the volume Songs before Sunrise.He does not utterly stop writing love poetry, but he is far less shocking.His versification, and especially his rhyming technique, remain masterful to the end.His work was very popular among undergraduates at Oxford and Cambridge, though today it has largely gone out of fashion.In fact Swinburne's Poems and Ballads, First Series and his Atalanta in Calydon have never been out of critical favor.Swinburne may have been one of the first people not to trust anyone over thirty.This of course created problems for him after he himself passed that age.This, at least, is the current popular and even the academic view of the decline of Swinburne's reputation, but it contains some distortion.Works include: Atalanta in Calydon, Tristram of Lyonesse, Poems and Ballads (series I, II and III -- these contain most of his more controversial works), Songs Before Sunrise, Lesbia Brandon (novel published posthumously)
