Product Description
Robert Browning, a towering poetic presence of the Victorian era, was hailed by Henry James as a tremendous and incomparable modern. The sheer immediacy and colloquial energy of his poetry ensure enduring appeal. Browning paints landscapes both suburban and sublime, combines lyric and demotic language, and introduces everyday events of the streets and marketplace into the rarified world of Victorian poetry.
This edition includes examples from the early Dramatic Lyrics (1842) and Dramatic Romances and Lyrics (1845); from the masterpieces Men and Women (1855) and Dramatis Personae (1864), and from the less familiar works of his later years. Together they convey the intensity, the lyric beauty, and the vitality of Browning's poetry.
About the Author
Robert Browning (1812-1889), the son of a bank clerk, was largely self-taught. In 1846, he married Elizabeth Barrett and lived with her, mainly in Italy, until her death in 1861, at which time he returned to London. Among his best known works is The Ring and the Book, published in 1872.
Daniel Karlin is a professor at University College, London, and editor of The Penguin Book of Victorian Verse.
