Opis

The appendices present a selection from the original sources, a list of variants from extant proofs, and key passages from Browning’s fascinating and revealing correspondence. The aim is to enable readers not just to understand the poem as an object of study, but to take pleasure in its intellectual and emotional energies

Recenzje

"The labour involved in annotating the poem must have been immense; the editors' collective knowledge of Browning's oeuvre and its contexts is unparalleled, and the result is an apparatus of extraordinary detail and heaviness. . . . To read Browning in an edition of this exceptional quality-by some distance the best available guide to the poem, and in many ways the best imaginable-is to feel confident of finding an answer to almost any question of the type listed in Cook's Commentary."

--Oliver Herford, TLS
