Publisher's Synopsis
The purpose of this series is to promote the study of writing in the English language through the introduction of the major figures writing in English throughout the ages. They provide an analytical and historical framework for understanding their subjects.;John Lucas's study, while surveying all of Robert Browning's non-dramatic work, pays particular attention to the most original and influential books of his career - "Men and Women" and "Dramatis Personae". With psychological insights, feminist sympathies, questioning of war and "public faces", Browning's work retains its contemporary interest.
