NOTE
THis volume includes (1) the contents of the three-volume edition of Browning’s poems published in 1863;
(2) Pauline, taken from the first edition (1833); (3) the contents of the second edition of the 1864 volume entitled.
Dramatis Personae; (4) two short poems, a Sonnet and Ben Karshook’s Wisdom, not reprinted by Browning in any collected edition of his poems; and (5) Orpheus and Eurydice, which appeared first in the Royal Academy Catalogue for 1864. A few obvious misprints have been corrected, and the ‘ elucidatory headings’ to Sordello, which first appeared in the edition of 1863, have been discarded, in accordance with Browning’s own omission of them in the final edition of his poems (1889). No other alterations have been made in the text.
