Men and Women by Robert Browning
"Men and Women" by Robert Browning is a collection of fifty-one poems published in 1855. This ambitious work features dramatic monologues spoken by diverse narrators across different historical, religious, and European settings. Each poem presents a distinct voice and perspective, showcasing Browning's mastery of the dramatic monologue form. The final poem, "One Word More," features Browning himself speaking directly to his wife, Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Though initially received poorly, this collection is
now considered among Victorian England's most significant literary achievements. (This is an automatically generated summary.)

Etext produced by Dick Adicks HTML file produced by David Widger Introduction and Notes: Charlotte Porter and Helen A. Clarke, from the edition of Browning's poems published by Thomas Y. Crowell and Company, New York, in 1898. Editing conventions: The digraphs have been silently rendered as "ae" or "oe." [u`] indicates u-grave, [a`] a-grave, [e`] e-grave, and [a^] a-circumflex. Similarly, u-umlaut is rendered as "ue." Stanza and section numbers have been moved to the left margin, and periods that follow them have been removed. Periods have been omitted after Roman numerals in the titles of popes and nobles. In keeping with contemporary practice, commas have been deleted when they precede dashes and spaces deleted in such contractions as "there's" where the printed text has "there 's." In references to Bible verses, Roman numerals have been changed to Arabic numerals (e. g., "John iii.16" is changed to "John 3:16"). |
