About this book
Robert Browning is by C.H. Herford, Professor of English Literature in the University of Manchester. A note to the Rev. F.E. Millson says a generation has passed since a reading of Ben Ezra, in a study at Brackenbed Grange, first introduced the note's author to the poetry of Robert Browning. The text says Byron's stormy power thrilled and delighted him, but was too poor in spiritual elements, too negative, self-centred, and destructive to stir the deeper sources of Browning's poetry.
The text says that, if Nature has aught to teach, it is the sterner doctrine that nothing endures. The text says the mystic's dream of seeing all things in God, the Hegelian thesis of a divine mind realising itself in and through the human, found no lodgment in a consciousness of mosaic-like clearness.
