Thomas Burnett Swann’s non-fiction reflects his academic career as an English professor at Florida Atlantic University. His critical works examine writers whose imaginations overlapped with his own interests in fantasy and romance. Wonder and Whimsy (1960) explores the fantastic elements in Christina Rossetti’s poetry, while his study of Ernest Dowson (1964) covers the life and work of the Victorian-era poet.

His book on A.A. Milne (1971) examines the creator of Winnie-the-Pooh, and The Heroine Or The Horse (1977) takes a different turn, analyzing the leading ladies of Republic Pictures’ films. Together, these works show Swann’s range as a scholar with a particular affection for writers who blurred the line between reality and imagination.
