""Browning and the Dramatic Monologue: Nature and Interpretation of an Overlooked Form of Literature"" is a book written by Samuel Silas Curry and published in 1908. The book focuses on the works of Robert Browning, a prominent poet of the Victorian era, and his contribution to the development of the dramatic monologue as a literary form. The author provides a detailed analysis of Browning's use of the dramatic monologue in his poems, exploring the nature and interpretation of this form of literature. Curry argues that the dramatic monologue is often overlooked in literary criticism, despite its importance in understanding the character and voice of the speaker in a poem. The book is divided into several chapters, each examining a different aspect of Browning's use of the dramatic monologue. Curry discusses the historical and cultural context in which Browning wrote, as well as the psychological and philosophical themes that are present in his work. He also provides close readings of several of Browning's most famous poems, including ""My Last Duchess"" and ""The Bishop Orders His Tomb at Saint Praxed's Church."" Overall, ""Browning and the Dramatic Monologue"" is a comprehensive study of a significant form of literature and its use in the works of one of the most influential poets of the Victorian era. It remains a valuable resource for students and scholars of English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
