The poetry of Robert Browning has been the subject of extensive
literary criticism since his death in 1889. Two well-known Browning
scholars here present the best of Browning criticism, bringing
together from many sources representative evaluations of the poet
and his poetry. The twenty-one essays here have been arranged
chronologically so that the reader can follow the development of
Browning studies and the fluctuations of his poetic reputation.
They express varied points of view and are typical of the critical
methods used by the Browning scholars. Included are essays by
George Santayana, John J. Chapman, G. K. Chesterton, Paul Elmer
More, William C. DeVane, Hoxie N. Fairchild, and Richard D. Altick.
In the introduction Mr. Litzinger and Mr. Knickerbocker review the
broad spectrum of Browning criticism. The editors also provide a
bibliographic guide to the rapidly growing body of Browning
criticism, which supplements and brings up to date previous
Browning bibliographies.
