This edition draws upon a wide range of Browning's poetry and
prose, including selections from his "Dramatic Lyrics", "Dramatic
Romances and Lyrics" and the "Men and Women" and "Dramatis
Personae" collections, as well as extracts from his correspondence
with Elizabeth Barrett. Aidan Day's introduction chronicles the
events both of Browning's life and of his development as a poet.
His early life and unusual education provided him with an
idiosyncratic outlook, at odds with the Anglican and Tory
orthodoxies of 19th-century middle-class culture, which was
confirmed by his love affair and elopement to Italy with Elizabeth
Barrett. Day's re-evaluation focuses on the influence of the
Romantic movement generally, and particularly on the subject of
Romanticism, as they affected Browning's writing. He looks too at
the critical response to Browning's poetry, from the widespread
hostility which greeted the publication of "Sordello" in 1840, to
the acclaim accorded to "The Ring and the Book" (1868-69).;This
book should be of interest to students of English literature at
upper school and undergraduate level.
