Wordsworth's poetry was far more influential upon that of Robert
Browning than has hitherto been supposed. Browning read Wordsworth
from an early age, and became an admirer of much of his work. In
particular, Wordsworth's aesthetic beliefs about the poet's role in
the world were as important to Browning's own conception of this
role as those of Shelley, whose relationship with Browning has been
far more extensively discussed. This book principally uses Harold
Bloom's ""influence theory"" to examine this relationship, which
can usefully be seen as a struggle on Browning's part to throw off
the burden of influence imposed upon him by his Romantic
predecessor. It also puts forward more historical and biographical
explanations for some of the relationship's complexities, including
Browning's awareness of Wordsworth's rising reputation in the late
Victorian period and the responsibilities imposed upon him in his
later career by his own position as a literary lion. John H. Baker
teaches for the Open University and the University of Westminster
in London.
