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"). |
| Summary | "Men and Women" by Robert Browning is a collection of poetic works written in the mid-19th century. This compilation features a variety of dramatic monologues and lyrical pieces that explore themes of gender roles, the human experience, and the artistic process. Encompassing richly drawn characters like artists, philosophers, and lovers, the poems delve into the complexities of personal relationships and societal expectations. The beginning of the collection introduces the reader to Browning's approach to poetry, as he separates simpler lyrical works from more complex dramatic pieces. The introduction hints at the transformation of his poetry and the evolution of his characters, who embody the rich tapestry of human emotion and thought. Browning sets the stage for a deep exploration of these characters’ inner lives and the challenges they face, using their stories to reflect on broader human experiences that remain relevant across time.
