Description
Browning's reputation in his own day has been extensively discussed; this study considers the influence of his work on twentieth-century literature. O'Neill relates Browning's turn-of-the-century reputation to the development of professional literary research in American, British, and Commonwealth universities, embracing approaches ranging from 'Poetry of Barbarism' to recent praise for Browning's anticipation of contemporary problems in literary theory. The book also traces responses to Browning's famous courtship of and marriage to Elizabeth Barrett, the effects of the scandal over the publication of their love letters and the recent interests of feminists in Browning's life andletters; this discussion in turn reflects on the important role of biography in the changing emphases of literary critics. PATRICIA O'NEILL teaches at Hamilton College.
