Robert Browning interests musicians because he was a major poet as
well as a competent musician. Music was a central theme in his
poetry and formed the basis for many of his images and ideas. This
unusual element compels musicological criticism as well as
literary. The subject of Nachum Schoffman's book is the nature of
Browning's musicality and the role and influence of music in his
poetry. Schoffman carries the musicological analysis of Browning's
poetry to its logical conclusions, revealing more than other
literary critics have of the poet's musicality. On the basis of his
analysis, he advances two new ideas. First, he identifies the piece
described in the poem A Toccata of Galuppi's as the Sonata in F
Major. Second, he offers a new interpretation of the relationship
between words and music in Browning's music poems. Schoffman's
unique musicological perspective enriches our understanding of one
of the great nineteenth century poets. His book is required reading
for scholars and students of Browning and those involved in
interdisciplinary approaches to literature.
