Accompanied by full scholarly apparatus, this is the first one-volume fully annotated edition of Browning's poetry. It presents work written across the breadth of his career, from the very first poem he published, \u003cem\u003ePauline\u003c\/em\u003e, to \u003cem\u003eAsolando\u003c\/em\u003e, the volume that was published on the day that he died. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe text chosen is, wherever possible, the text of the poem as it was first published by Browning himself, and as a consequence the volume also constitutes a kind of biography that enables students to understand Browning's development over the course of his life. The edition reveals a poet who began as a bold experimentalist, and who continued to experiment throughout a writing career of more than fifty years. Browning is best known for his dramatic monologues, and the dramatic monologues are fully represented in this volume, but he was also a narrative poet, a poet of philosophical reflection, and a poet who fashioned an extraordinary variety of lyric measures. This volume reveals Browning as a far more versatile poet than he is often taken to be. There are two important prose items, an essay on Shelley and a letter to Ruskin which clarify Browning's intellectual stance. The Notes include brief headnotes to each poem followed by detailed annotation, and they assist the reader in developing a full understanding of these masterful poems. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExplanatory notes and commentary are included, to enhance the study, understanding, and enjoyment of these works, and the edition includes an Introduction to the life and works of Browning, and a Chronology.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard Cronin, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of English Literature, University of Glasgow\u003c\/em\u003e, Dorothy McMillan, \u003cem\u003eHonorary Research Fellow, University of Glasgow\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRichard Cronin has published very widely on nineteenth-century literature.
