About this title

Synopsis

Robert Browning (1812-1889) represents the intellectual and argumentative strand in English poetry in contrast to the more ornate style of Spenser and Tennyson. His poetry demonstrates how a poet must be a sharp perceptive observer of the complexity of the human condition. Perhaps his most moving poetry was written to express his feelings for his wife, the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning, in which he deals in a very 'modern' way with the uncomfortable fact that we can never quite bridge the gap between ourselves and the people we love.

Book Description

The aim of this edition is to present all the volumes and pamphlets of poetry which Browning published up to the year 1864, in the order in which they first made their appearance. The text, however, is that of the collected edition which he published at the end of his life.
