Robert Browning (1812 1889) was one of the defining figures of the Victorian age. Famous in his lifetime for his runaway marriage to Elizabeth Barrett, his critical reputation grew steadily in the years following her early death. Brownings mastery of dramatic verse was evident throughout his career, from such chillingly unforgettable monologues as My Last Duchess and Porphyria to the mature work included in his collection Dramatis Personae. This selection, edited by leading scholars, reveals the innovation, complexity and profound psychological insight that have ensured Brownings enduring reputation and his continuing appeal to readers today.

Browning: Selected Poemsresults from a completely fresh appraisal of the canon, text and context of the writers work.  The poems are presented in the order of their composition and in the text in which they were first published, giving a unique insight into the development of Brownings art. An introduction and chronology offer useful background material, whilst annotations and headnotes provide details of composition, publication, sources and contemporary reception. This authoritative yet accessible selection should become the first point of reference for scholar, student and general reader alike.
