Description

This study interprets Browning's poetry as a spiritual quest, with the successive stages being: a rejection of Promethean pride for Christ-like humility; affirmation of the gospels of suffering and of work; internalization of the doctrine of the Apocalypse; and ascent to divine love and truth.
