A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book has resulted from a course in the study of the poetry of Robert Browning which I took while attending Baylor University. My knowledge of the poet and his work was extremely limited and I fear prejudiced but the more I studied, the greater was my enthusiasm and admiration. This led me to undertake for my senior thesis (A. B.) the gathering of tributes to Robert Brownins;, and the task has afforded me much pleasure despite the immense amount of work necessary to collect these poems and secure the privilege to print them. Some poems contained in the volume have never before been published: they were written and read at special Browning functions, and it has been due to the generous co-operation of Browning lovers everywhere that I have been able to locate these lines. Even now I have secured information concerning other poems which I fear will not reach me in time to include in this book. I feel certain that there will be another volume issued as a supplement to this one, so that I now appeal to all readers to send to me or to Dr. A. J. A rmstrong, Baylor University, Waco, Texas, any other poems or information concerning other poems which I have not included. At first it was purposed to include parodies, but the collection grew to such proportions and the parodies have a unity in themselves that it was decided to use only the serious poems and to issue later a collection known as Parodies of Robert Browning s Poems. A ny one knowing of parodies will confer a great favor by reporting such poems. Since the admirers of Browning live in every clime and follow every walk in life, one will not be surprised to find here a variety of verses, and as a natural result the contrast in poems is at times marked, yet all have sought to render Homage to Robert Browning so that in our arrangement there is no first or last.
