The Robert Browning volume in the 21st-Century Oxford Authors
series is the first one-volume fully annotated edition of Browning
to offer a wide selection of work written throughout Browning's
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. It 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. Browning is often a difficult poet, and the notes are
designed to assist the reader to arrive at a full understanding of
the poems. The volume also includes a general introduction and a
detailed chronology of Browning's life and times.
