The Life of Robert Browning

Couverture
Wiley, 11 avr. 1996 - 304 pages
Robert Browning is customarily regarded as a dramatic poet whose works are separate and distinct from himself. This biography proposes a different view of the poet and his poems. Every one of his works is regarded in the same way that Browning himself regarded it; as a performance in which the author plays a part, as producer, presenter, or actor, or sometimes all three; and each is examined as part of a constantly revised script entitled Presenting Robert Browning d. To Browning life is more than art, but art is teh best way of dealing with what life is all about.
