The sixth in a seventeen volume annotated collection of Browning's complete works containing the second half of Men and Women and the entire Dramatis Personae . The notes indicate variants and
provide historical and literary background for allusions and referenced names, detailing such poems as "Andrea del Sarto," "The Guardian Angel" and "Women and Roses." The Dramatis Personae
reflects both the increased fame Browning enjoyed in 1860, and the conflicting emotions of the poet who had left Italy, a married life, and perhaps a part of his romanticism as evidenced by the
poems "James Lee's Wife," "A Death in the Desert," and "The Medium." Lacks an index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
