Présentation de l'éditeur
Novels in Verse the first two poems in this volume might well be called, for in them actual tragic stories have been thrown into artistic form, and the novelists prerogatives taken of seeing into the inmost souls of the actors, so that their natures and motives are laid bare before the reader. The manner of presenting the story is with both poems unique in Browning swork :that employed in the Red Cotton Night-C ap Country is mdirect description carried on in a conversational vein, as the poet relates the incidents to his friend Miss Thackeray, and embellishes them with his penetrating character analysis, or illuminating excursions into the history of the time ;while that of The Inn Album is direct description of the action, every character being made to speak inside one set of quotation marks, not in the complex dramatic fashion, of many of the monologues where quotations within quotations demand constant alertness on the part of the reader if he would keep clearly in mind the separate characters.
