| Evidence: | "In 1862, as a 25-year-old rebel ... [Swinburne] took it on himself to scandalize a dinner party at Fryston. His target was not his host, Richard Monckton Milnes ... Nor was Swinburne particularly showing off for Thackeray, a fellow guest ... His aim was directed more at the rest of the table: Thackeray's two daughters and the new Archbishop of York, William Thomson ... Swinburne read Les Noyades'." |
