This volume offers a generous selection of works from each of Browning’s creative periods, emphasizing the years in which the memorable dramatic monologues were written. The experimental phase (1833-45) is represented by selections from Pauline (1833), Paracelsus (1835), Sordello (1840), Dramatic Lyrics (1842), and Dramatic Romances and Lyrics (1845), as well as by the complete text of Pippa Passes; the major phase (1855-69) by selections from Men and Women (1855), Dramatis Personae (1864), and The Ring and the Book (1868–69), of which Books V, VI, and X are reprinted; and the later achievement (after 1870) by selections from Fifine at the Fair (1872), Aristophanes’ Apology (1875), Pacchiarotto and How He Worked in Distemper: With Other Poems (1876), Jocoseria (1883), Parleyings with Certain People of Importance in Their Day (1887), and
Asolando: Fancies and Facts (1889). Browning’s Introductory Essay to the Letters of Percy Bysshe Shelley (1852) is also included. The annotations are designed to provide background information sufficient to permit each selection to be read without interruption.
The critical materials begin with Victorian views of Browning’s work by John Forster, Thomas Carlyle, George Eliot, William Morris, John Ruskin, Walter Bagehot, R. W. Buchanan, Alfred Austin, Algernon Charles Swinburne, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Oscar Wilde, and Henry James.
The modern critics are George Santayana, G. K. Chesterton, William O. Raymond, J. Hillis Miller, Robert Langbaum, W. David Shaw, Harold Bloom, F. E. L. Priestley, Roma A. King, Jr., and E. D. H. Johnson.
A Chronology, an annotated Selected Bibliography, and an Index of titles complete the volume.
