Robert Browning in Contexts (Hardcover)

Of all the British poets, Robert Browning has proved the most hospitable to the variety of contemporary critical approaches, and this volume celebrates that rich diversity by bringing together the best of his critics and the full range of their critical standpoints. To such established names as Herbert Tucker, Daniel Karlin, John Maynard, Isobel Armstrong, David Shaw and John Woolford are juxtaposed younger scholars such as Adam Roberts and Marjorie Stone, as well as recognised commentators not primarily known as Browning specialists, such as Leonee Ormond, George Myerson, and the late Eric Mottram. The result is a volume which defines Browning for the millennium.
