EDITORS COMMENTS

The image, taken by Samuel James Poole, offers a glimpse into the world of this renowned English poet, playwright, novelist, and critic. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the profound friendship between Swinburne and Theodore Watts-Dunton.

It is said that Watts-Dunton played a crucial role in saving his dear friend from alcoholism—a testament to their unbreakable bond. Surrounded by nature's beauty, "The Pines" stands proudly adorned with lush ivy climbing its walls. Through its windows lies a view that beckons us to explore further—an enchanting garden filled with vibrant trees swaying gently in the summer breeze.
