Abstract

I have sought to learn from my study two things: First... to discover whether Browning high-lights the speaker through the imagery put into his mouth, or whether Browning himself is speaking to us through another voice. Second, I have tried to get "a direct glimpse of the working of his mind and imagination," and to discover whatever there was in the imagery which might be said to be characteristic of Browning's style.
