Browning and AmericaUniversity of North Carolina Press, 1952 - 355 páginas "In these pages I have attempted to tell the story of the relation between America and Robert Browning during the lifetime of the poet: to indicate the important part America played in his life, and to show the result of his impact on the country which produced o many devoted admirers of his work. Whereas most of the biographical works on Browning are written from the English point of view, this book deals largely with American ramification of Browning biography hitherto neglected, and might be described as a kind of biography written from the American point of view." -- by Louise Greer (author), Preface, p.vii |
