Product Description
Review
’Iain Finlayson succeeds in making the life accessible… Hitherto Browning has had two literary monuments, one in his poetry and another in those “courtship” letters. Now he has a third in this conscientious and thoughtful biography.’ The Times
’Browning has been fortunate in his biographers and this long new one by Iain Finlayson can be recommended… (its) intimate, trusting approach is immensely appealing. Finlayson gives us Browning in his overwhelming presence. This biography succeeded in thoroughly changing my mind. James was right: Browning is tremendous.’ Philip Hensher, The Spectator
‘One of the engaging features of Iain Finlayson's exhaustive new biography is that he tells some good stories against his man… It will be required reading for Browning fanatics.’ Sunday Telegraph
‘It is impossible to speak without enthusiasm of Browning’s open, generous nature and his great ability and knowledge. I had no idea that there was a perfectly sensible poet in the world, entirely free from enmity, jealousy, or any other littleness, and thinking no more of himself than if he were an ordinary man. His great energy is very remarkable, and his determination to make the most of the remainder of his life.’ Benjamin Jowett, 1865
