Abstract: Swinburne's role in the development of Modernist poetics has been underestimated by critics who have adhered to the polemical commonplace by which he was regarded as an "exponent of pure sound." With the advent of Postmodern approaches to stylistic patterns which Swinburne originated, a new appreciation of his place in the Modern canon is possible. His close collaboration with Mallarme and his place in the Parisian avant-garde suggest that this re-reading of Swinburne as Modernist is not unfounded. Evidence of his impact upon Hopkins, Pater, Yeats, Eliot, Pound, Stevens, Crane, and later Moderns, both in documents and glimpsed through an inter-textual reading of their lyrics with Swinburne's, confirms this re-evaluation of Swinburne as Modernist rather than Victorian or Pre-Raphaelite.
