Synopsis

Discover the story behind a Browning phrase-book designed for quick, thoughtful study. This historical sketch outlines how a group of editors organized a practical reference drawn from Browning’s poetic and dramatic works, aiming to help students and readers refresh the mind with memorable lines.

The excerpt describes the collaboration of societies and editors, from early plans to adapt a concordance into a concise phrase-book. It explains the shift from repeating phrases to a one-word index and shows how publishing needs shaped revisions and cross-references to different Riverside and Cambridge editions. It also notes editorial decisions, the handling of punctuation, and the goal of making Browning’s language accessible for leisure reading or scholarly use.

• Learn how a phrase-book was planned, organized, and divided among editors.


• See the practical reasons for using a one-word index over a full concordance.


• Understand how editions and cross-references were integrated for researchers.


• Gain insight into editorial choices that preserve Browning’s original punctuation and voice.

Ideal for readers who want context about the creation of a Browning reference tool and for collectors of Browning’s works.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
