Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Robert Browning Perhaps the most striking characteristic alike of Browning's personal character and of his poetry is his intense, individuality, his independence of external influences. Sociable and affectionate, and including among his friends men and women of strong personality, his nature nevertheless remained little affected by contact with others. Only his wife touched the essentials in his character; and her influence did not so much modify his personality as awaken in it emotions and powers previously undeveloped, give it the atmosphere of finest sympathy and the stimulus of deepest feeling which made it more magnificently itself. And this same independence marks Browning's work. His intellectual sympathies were singularly wide; his culture was cosmopolitan, though most friendly to the influences of his beloved Italy; painting, music, history, politics, all fascinated him, and his literary sympathies, despite certain marked insensibilities, were rich and varied. But all these influences merely gave new force to his genius without definitely informing its temper. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Robert Browning: Essays and Thoughts In an age when knowledge, for its own sake, is by a large class of men as eagerly sought as gold, some apology seems necessary for a composition which professedly avoids facts, and deals in speculation. More especially would this apology seem to be due from anyone attempting to handle the works of a master, the beneficence of whose genius has led him to range in fields of knowledge so wide, and for their own sake to store harvests of learning so plenteous. Any such apology as may be due on this ground I am willing to make; but I should fail in my duty of respect were I to stop there, and refrain from expressing, though in feeble words, the extent of my debt in another way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Robert Browning and Alfred Domett It is not claimed that the publication of these letters is a matter of universal interest, or indeed that they are likely to interest more than a somewhat Special class of readers. Browning's letters were in no sense literary compositions, nor have they the unconscious literary gift which distin guishes the letters, natural and unstudied though they be, of a very few such writers as fitzgerald and Charles Lamb. They serve, however - and serve all the more by reason of Browning's deliberate destruction of his intimate correspondence - to illus trate the character of one who has every thing to gain by being known in all the richness of a noble and a sympathetic nature. It is to those who find a special appeal to them in Browning's poetry, and to those who care to learn something of the character of one of the great poets of age.

Download or read book Browning s Poems Selected Classic Reprint written by Austin Melvin Works and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Browning's Poems (Selected) The eleven minor poems of Robert Browning to be considered here are, with the exception of One Word M ore, so many examples of dramatic or objective poetry. As soon as the personality of an author obtrudes itself into his work, that work ceases to be dramatic and be comes subjective or lyrical, as in the case of the poem mentioned above, in which we hear Browning himself in his own person addressing his beloved wife, Elizabeth Barrett. Subjective poetry, in the strictest sense of the term, is very unusual with Browning, although his intense personality is always to be felt, yet seldom seen or heard, in all he has written. Of the various forms of dramatic poetry Browning is most interested in the dramatic monologue, which we shall describe at some length when we come to discuss the construction of his verse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Robert Browning Shorter Poems: Selected and Edited With Introduction and Notes Now Robert Browning, you writer of plays, Here's a subject made to your hand! Like Shakespeare, who never introduces an English contemporary except into some trivial comic part, he generally finds these subjects either in the remote picturesque past, or amid modern environments unfamiliar to the mass of his readers. No modern poet has done more to expand the intellectual horizon of the average Englishman. Such poems as Prams and T ne Bz'snop orders lzz's T mne in St Praxed's Clearen, for example, seem to condense into a few lines the essence of massy volumes on Byzantine and Renaissance eras. Whatever of the Dryasdust element may have clung to these ancient volumes has disappeared in the process; the descriptions could not be more fresh, vivid, and real, if they related to things of yesterday. The feelings of the modern Florentine gentleman bemoaning the dulness of the country are nearer to us in time, but no nearer in sympathy and comprehension than those of Cleon, rang ing the gifts of the Greek despot in the days of Nero.

Download or read book Robert Browning and the Drama Classic Reprint written by Walter Fairfax and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Robert Browning and the Drama Never has the death of a great poet elicited a more spontaneous, widely spread and rationally founded appreciation of his work than in the case of Robert Browning and yet, with a full ac knowledgment of this fact, I feel that on three points complete justice still remains to be done him, and I venture to prophesy that the day is not far off when it will be universally recognized that (1) he was, broadly speaking, one of the greatest of the masters of rhythm and metre, (2) that in the special domain of blank verse he was a legitimate and paramount creator, and (3) that the comparatively small number of plays he has left entitles him to rank among the world's piti ably few great dramatists. As far, at any rate, as English literature is concerned - setting aside Shakespeare, Shelley's Cenci and Milton's Samson Agonistcs - a selection from its whole wide and opulent range would not furnish a body of eight (or nine) plays equal in combined poetic, dramatic, theatric and ethic value to the like number with which Browning has enriched the world.

To-day, I have the pleasure of speaking, to the Society which represents him in Boston, of Robert Brown ing in his relation to the Art of Painting, that we may see, so far as may be in the very limited scope of this paper, how deeply, how wisely, and how justly this Poet deals with the Painter. I shall have no word to say of Browning's own art: it does not come within my province to speak of his verse as such, only as it relates itself to my subject, as it ex plains or illuminates pictures and those who painted them.
