Reviews

This splendidly edited selection of Robert Browning's poetry is the ideal one-volume edition for undergraduate study. Richard Cronin and Dorothy McMillan choose expertly from the whole range of the poetry, convincing one of the importance of the later work as well as underscoring the magnificent achievement of the more widely read earlier verse and including the important Essay on Shelley; their vibrant introduction relishes Browning's originality and unexpectedness, and their annotations are informative and critically suggestive. With its attractively clean reading texts and editorial savvy, the volume brings Browning thrillingly to life. * Michael O'Neill, Durham University * This essential edition seems to prove that poetry is best examined by two people. Cronin and McMillan have wonderful ears and eyes for Browning's work. The annotations are inspiring, insightful, revealing and surprising. Browning's late work finally gets the attention it deserves too. A beautifully accessible achievement in Browning scholarship. * John Gardner, Anglia Ruskin University * In addition to a useful and judicious selection of Browning's poems, this volume includes three letters by Browning and his Essay on Shelley.' The annotations are learned and lucid. * T. Hoagwood, CHOICE *
