Excerpt: "These selections from the poetry of Robert Browning have been made with especial reference to the tastes and capacities of readers of the high-school age. Every poem included has been found by experience to be within the grasp of boys and girls. Most of Browning''s best poetry is within the ken of any reader of imagination and diligence. To the reader who lacks these, not only Browning, but the great world of literature, remains closed: Browning is not the only poet who requires close study. The difficulties he offers are, in his best poems, not more repellent to the thoughtful reader than the nut that protects and contains the kernel. To a boy or girl of active mind, the difficulty need rarely be more than a pleasant challenge to the exercise of a little patience and ingenuity."

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Robert Browning

English poet and playwright. He was born in London in 1812 and died in Venice in 1889. Inheriting from his father an attachment to thrift and also a facility for versification, he wrote, at only twelve years old, a volume of poems which he called UnconventionalHe published a vast body of work, among which the poems stand out. Paulina (the first to be published, in 1835), Paracelsus (1835) and Sordello (1840); the pieces Strafford (1837), Pippa Passes (1841) and A Dullness on Armory (1843). Above all, the development he gave to the technique of dramatic monologue and the poem. The Ring and the Book (1868-1869) guarantee him an important place in nineteenth-century English poetry. In 1884, the University of Edinburgh awarded him an honorary doctorate. In 1886, he was appointed a Fellow of the Royal Academy.
