Robert Browning's Poetry (Norton Critical Editions) Paperback – January 2, 2007

4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 25 ratings
See all formats and editions

The Second Edition of this substantial collection of Browning’s poetry again reprints the texts of the seventeen-volume “Fourth and complete edition” (Smith, Elder), of which all but the final volume were approved by Browning before his death.

The poems are ordered chronologically according to their first appearance in book form. Thirteen new poems are included in this edition, with Pauline now printed in its entirety. Annotations have been revised throughout to clarify Browning’s references and vocabulary.

“Criticism” retains the important contextual perspective of the First Edition. The twenty-three essays, nine of which are new, are divided into three sections: “Victorian Views,” “Modern Essays in Criticism,” and “Interpretations of Poems.”

A Chronology, Selected Bibliography, and Index of Titles and First Lines are also included.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Nice Introduction to Browning
    Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2019

    I was looking for a good introduction to Browning and, after reading reviews, this sounded like a great starting point. It really is. If you're looking for a good collection to get in to Browning, look no further. My copy also didn't suffer from any of the mentioned binding issues.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Browning as never before
    Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2007
    "Grow old along with me!/ The best is yet to be ...." Great line--quoted recently and beautifully by Christopher Plummer in the popular movie "Must Love Dogs," but did you know it comes from the poem "Rabbi Ben Ezra"? This book discovers Browning as never before. Not only will you find the chestnuts you've heard over the years, but you will read them in context. Not only will you see the breadth and depth of this poet's work, but also find extraordinary essays on his technique and discussions of specific poems by Carlyle and James and Hopkins sitting right next to essays by Harold Bloom and other present-day luminaries. And to boot, you won't be overwhelmed by footnotes, but when you find one, it will be in plain English. This is a book to treasure.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Binding of the Book
    Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    I like the contents of the book just fine. The print is easy to read, and the poems are laid out nicely. But the glued binding of this book is going to go quickly. The first time I opened the book I could feel its flimsiness. Soon, I am sure, I'm going to be left with nothing but chunks of book.

    Are there not any books that are still stitched together?
