An Introduction to the Study of Robert Browning's Poetry
Hiram Corson, professor of English literature at Cornell, published An Introduction to the Study of Robert Browning's Poetry in 1886, and the book opens with a letter in which Browning himself thanks him for it. Corson places Browning in the spiritual ebb and flow of English poetry from Chaucer onward, explains the idea of personality at the center of his work, and tackles the charge of obscurity that kept many readers away. He then gives arguments and texts for some forty poems, among them Andrea del Sarto, Fra Lippo Lippi, Rabbi Ben Ezra and Saul. It remains a helpful companion to a demanding body of verse. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
