Author Description

This third volume of the complete works of Browning offers six of his Bells and Pomegranates pamphlets--including Pippa Passes, four other dramatic works, and the first of the great collections of short poems. Jack provides textual variants, introductions to the poems, the first full and rigorous annotation to the work, appendices--including versions of the "Pied Piper" story as told by Browning's father--and the rare inclusion of Browning's essay on Shelley.
