内容説明

The manuscript containing one of the few firsthand accounts of the Poet Robert Browning's family life is now available in an edition prepared by W. Craig Turner. Turner has meticulously transcribed and edited Mason's hand-written biography of the Browning family, which is a part of the collection of the Armstrong Browning Library at Baylor University. The edition includes extensive textual notes, a description of Cyrus Mason and his relation to Robert Browning, and an analysis of Mason's eccentricities and prejudices.
