Description

Robert Browning: A Study of Human Psychology John Woolford explores the complex and multifaceted poetry of Robert Browning, challenging the traditional categorisation of him as a poet of 'the grotesque'. This study places Browning within a broader aesthetic tradition, tracing his work's connections to Romanticism and modern concepts of the grotesque. By examining the intricacies of Browning's style and output, Woolford sheds new light on this remarkable 19th-century poet. Browning's poetry is renowned for its intellectual depth and complexity, yet it has also been hampered by its difficulty. This book seeks to explain and celebrate the intense creativity that characterised his work, positioning all aspects of his output within a unified theory of their significance. By doing so, Woolford offers a nuanced understanding of Browning's place in the literary canon. A major figure in English literature, Robert Browning is often compared to giants such as Chaucer and Shakespeare. This study provides a fresh perspective on his work, one that reveals the full range of his intellectual and artistic abilities.
