Excerpt from Two Masters: Browning and TurgeniefOf the two papers which make up this little volume the first was written to commemorate the centennial of Robert Browning's birth. It is the result, not so much of minute and critical study of the poet's work in detail, as of long and intimate communion with the poet's mind and heart as these are expressed in his verse. Yet the exercise of the critical faculty has not been neglected, as I trust the following pages will show. My endeavor has been to give as complete a survey as my limited space would allow of Browning's literary career and achieve ment. It is my modest hope that this paper will be an inspiration and help to those who as yet are unacquainted, except in a very super ficial way, with Browning's poems. It may also aid in correcting those grotesque misappre hensions of his work which have hindered many from entering into possession of the riches of color, thought, emotion, hope and dauntless faith which the poet offers to readers who take him on his own terms.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
