Edward Dowden, the Dublin critic best known for his work on Shakespeare, writes a biography of Browning’s mind, tying each poem to its date and occasion. He follows the poet from a South London childhood through Paracelsus and Sordello, the years of writing for the stage, the courtship of Elizabeth Barrett and their life together in Italy.
A thoughtful guide for readers of Browning who want to see how the man and the monologues grew together. Download the free EPUB.
