Description: I have tried to proved a straightforward account of Browning's poetic career as a whole, to give special attention to works and issues of special interest, and to gloss with cogent events in the life of the poet. Despite awareness of the dangers, I have hoped to say something useful or interesting about every book and every poem that Browning published. And at the very least, I do place every book and poem at its appropriate position in the poet's life and work, and suggest why it is to be found just there. - Preface.

Provides a straightforward account of Browning's poetic career as a whole, gives special attention to works of special interest, and tells some personal events in the poet's life.
Notes: Bibliography: p. 183-188.
