Editorial Reviews
Review
A series on which Routledge is to be congratulated.
–Amy Freeman, University of Washington, for Contemporary Review
The major strengths of The Complete Critical Guide To Robert Browning are its clarity, its comprehensiveness, and the judiciousness of its critical and theoretical discourse. Because of these qualities it will be useful to students and scholars alike.
–Thomas J. Collins
A wonderfully deft introduction to the work of this crucial poet. Hawlin crosses and recrosses the expansive body of Browning's poetry with an expert touch and fertile concision. This guide manages to include an astonishing amount of material - biographical, poetic, critical and theoretical- without ever becoming cluttered, and its many sensitive readings of the poetry are full of marvellous insight and intelligence. This is certainly the best introduction to the poetry of Robert Browning available today.

All the Basics in one book,

This review is from: Robert Browning (Routledge Guides to Literature) (Paperback)
I found this book really straightforward and useful. It gives you most of what you might feel you needed to know about Browning and his poetry in a relatively small space. It seems accurate but lively. Browning is still in some respects a neglected giant among the Victorians - this book has convinced me that I need to look deeper into his work.
