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.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Cheap for a reason,
By Thooz (New England USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Works of Robert Browning (Wordsworth Poetry) (Wordsworth Poetry Library) (Paperback)
The text was uncomfortably cramped on the page; even in the tinniest legible print that was chosen for this book, almost every line is formatted so that it had to be indented, which turned out to be very distracting and was compounded by all pages being separated into two claustrophobic columns. For a preview, I recommend checking out Amazon's excerpt and seeing if you can handle it.
Almost not worth the $3.48 I paid.
