Volume 15 in The Complete Poetical Works of Robert Browning
presents poetry Browning wrote in his seventies, his last two
volumes: Parleyings (1887) and Asolando (1889). The former is the
poet's last sustained meditation on life and on his times, a
nine-section credo covering religion, history, poetry, politics,
art, and music. Asolando is a coda to his whole oeuvre, a mixture
of short love lyrics, historical monologues and anecdotes, light
verse, and poems which are quite sui generis, all grouped around
the theme of 'fancies and fact'. Both volumes are presented here
with previously unknown sources, a wealth of new contextual
material, and many textual nuances clarified, giving a fresh view
of the last phase of Browning's career. What emerges is a poet more
seriously Christian, Protestant, and Liberal than previously
supposed, more interested in Britain's destiny and Empire, more
enmeshed in the local battles of the 1880's and a writer of
considerable range and wit.
