Book Description
Excerpt from Browning and His Century Prologue To Robert Browning "Say not we know but rather that we love, And so we know enough." Thus deeply spoke The Sage; and in men's stunted hearts awoke A haunting fear, for fain arc they to prove Their life, their God, with yeas and nays that move The mind's uncertain flow. Then fierce outbroke, - Knowledge, the child of pain shall we revoke? The guide wherewith men climb to things above? Nay. calm your fears! 'Tis but the mere mind's knowing, The soul's alone the poet worthy deeming. Let mind up-build its entities of seeming With toil and tears! The toil is but for showing How much there lacks of truth. But 'tis no dreaming When sky throbs back to heart, with God's love beaming. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
NEW PRINT WITH PROFESSIONAL TYPE-SET IN CONTRAST TO SCANNED PRINTS OFFERED BY OTHERS Browning And His Century This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Browning Studies (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from Browning Studies These Browning Studies were given in Oberlin College, in the Department of English in the course on Nineteenth Century Poetry, in the second semester of the year 1908-09, and were repeated in the corresponding semester of the year1909-10. They constituted a course in the Summer Session of Middlebury College in 1913, and were given here again as a part of the study of Nineteenth Century Poetry in the second semester of the year 1913-14. It should be explained also that the greater part of the study of The Ring and the Book was written before those Oberlin days, and that since those days Bishop Blougram's Apology, A Death in the Desert, and Reverie have been added to the list of poems taken up; also that, besides being used in connection with the college classes mentioned above, several of the lectures have been given in various places. The interest taken by the students in these studies has suggested their publication. They are now printed as given in the classroom, with some revision. Abbreviations are written out more than in the author's notes, but no attempt has been made to reproduce the extemporaneous elaboration and explanation given in the classroom. Lectures which occupied several classroom hours are here sometimes combined into a single chapter. These studies do not pretend to be exhaustive. They are simply an introduction to some of Browning's best work. They are intended now, as they were in the classroom, for those who have not read Browning at all before, or very little.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Primer of Browning There are few works in our literature which so well repay careful and loving study as the poems of Robert Browning. To know Browning well is to have acquired a liberal education. The British public have taken a long time in finding this out, but it is now recognized that his claims cannot be neglected by those who would think high thoughts and commune with noble souls. It has been the fashion to call the poet obscure, analytical and introspective, and this by those who have never taken the pains to learn really what he is. The truth is, he frequently deals with subjects that in their nature are profound; but though he treats obscure matters deeply, it is not true to say that he deals with deep subjects obscurely. As a poet he is very varied. He has written many exquisite love poems, some charming lyrics, many dramatic monologues, and has told the story of a crowd of half-forgotten persons more or less important in their time and way. The aim of this Primer is to indicate briefly the subjects treated in the different poems, and to indicate in plain language their main outlines.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Old Yellow Book: Source of Robert Browning's the Ring and the Book The Old Yellow Book is the record of the court procedure of those seven intervening weeks, and shows us the whole legal battle fought to save Guido, while Rome looked on with the fascinated interest which has always attended the great murder tu'als. It includes the lawyers' arguments for and against the accused, together with a part of the evidence brought into court, and some additional miscellaneous data on the case. All this had evidently been assembled by the Florentine lawyer, Cencini, to whom certain letters included are addressed. He seems to have been interested in the case as a precedent on an important and much disputed point of law, whether and when a husband may kill an adulterous Wife. Cencini may also have had some professional relation with the Franceschini family at Arezzo. At any rate, he set the material in order, provided title-page and index, and a transcript of the record in a criminal case against Pompilia in the Tuscan courts (pp. 5 and bound it securely in the vellum cover which conveyed it to the poet's hands more than a century and a half later. Whatever meaning this volume may have as a legal pre cedent, it had for Browning, and has for the lay reader, a deep human interest as the incomplete record of a sordid series of intrigues for certain properties, ending at last in a fearful crime.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Faith of Robert Browning During these few centuries the pendulum of thought swung constantly between the ex tremes of pantheism and transcendentalism. In discussing the religious problem and show ing that the modern trend is toward immanence Eucken says that both these views, the pan theistic and the transcendental, result in a life devoid of religion. At first the divine is brought near to our existence; then it is closely associated with it as an inspiring force, and finally it totally disappears, or vanishes to an unapproachable distance.

Excerpt from Studies in Browning My object has been to introduce Brown ing to those to whom he is little more than a name, and to give them samples of the intellectual wealth which that name re presents.
