Cloth, 8vo, 22 cm, xiv,337 pp, 8 plates ports. ; From the blurb - "This is Volume I of the most comprehensive biography of Browning yet, written. The recent renaissance of Browning scholarship; the publication, un- bowdlerised, of letters from him and to him; Miss Ward's own examination of letters still in manuscript in Europe, America, and New Zealand, and of an unpublished hymn of hate by a cousin, Cyrus Mason - all have contributed to this wider and more detailed study. This first volume covers the years to the death of Elizabeth when, to the public, she was the poet, he simply the poet's husband. It treats of his boyhood and the teen-age atheism and vegetarianism he caught from Shelley; the publication of Pauline, which did not sell a copy; the flicker of success with Paracelsus, snuffed out by the unreadability of Sordello', the love letters and the married life in Italy; the burden on Robert of Elizabeth's drug addiction (with which Julia Ward Howe taunted her) and her unbalanced spiritualism. For Miss Ward this is the period of Browning's greatest poetry - Men and Women - which has so profoundly affected the poets of our own century - T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Robert Lowell. She gives considerable time to the dramatic monologue, of which he is the supreme master; and to Christmas-Eve and Easter- Day, in which his mind thrusts vividly into the Chapel religion of his boyhood, into Catholicism and Liberal Protestantism, and concludes that the first is closest to God. Because no writer lives his life in a vacuum, Miss Ward has made a careful study of Browning's relations with his con-temporaries-Carlyle, Ruskin, Tennyson, John Stuart Mill, Henry James, George Sand, Thackeray, the Hawthornes, to say nothing of Napoleon III whom Elizabeth so improbably idolised."
