This volume in the 21st-Century Oxford Authors series offers
students and readers a comprehensive selection of the work of
Robert Browning (1812-1889). Accompanied by full scholarly
apparatus, this is the first one-volume fully annotated edition of
Browning's poetry. It presents work written across the breadth of
his career, from the very first poem he published, Pauline, to
Asolando, the volume that was published on the day that he died.
The text chosen is, wherever possible, the text of the poem as it
was first published by Browning himself, and as a consequence the
volume also constitutes a kind of biography that enables students
to understand Browning's development over the course of his life.
The edition reveals a poet who began as a bold experimentalist, and
who continued to experiment throughout a writing career of more
than fifty years. Browning is best known for his dramatic
monologues, and the dramatic monologues are fully represented in
this volume, but he was also a narrative poet, a poet of
philosophical reflection, and a poet who fashioned an extraordinary
variety of lyric measures. This volume reveals Browning as a far
more versatile poet than he is often taken to be. There are two
important prose items, an essay on Shelley and a letter to Ruskin
which clarify Browning's intellectual stance. The Notes include
brief headnotes to each poem followed by detailed annotation, and
they assist the reader in developing a full understanding of these
masterful poems. Explanatory notes and commentary are included, to
enhance the study, understanding, and enjoyment of these works, and
the edition includes an Introduction to the life and works of
Browning, and a Chronology.
