The Tomb at St. Praxed's: (Rome, 15--.) Garden Fancies; I. The Flower's Name; II. Sibrandus Schafnaburgensis. France and Spain; I. The Laboratory (Ancien Regime); II. Spain--The Confessional. The Flight of the Duchess. Earth's Immortalities. Song. ('Nay but you, who do not love her.') The Boy and the Angel. Night and Morning; I. Night; II. Morning. Claret and Tokay. Saul. (Part I.) Time's Revenges. The Glove. (Peter Ronsard loquitur.) VIII. and last. Luria; and A Soul's Tragedy. 1846. This publication has seemed entitled to a detailed notice, because it is practically extinct, and because its nature and circumstance confer on it a biographical interest not possessed by any subsequent issue of Mr. Browning's works. The dramas and poems of which it is composed belong to that more mature period of the author's life, in which the analysis of his work ceases to form a necessary part of his history. Some few of them, however, are significant to it; and this is notably the case with 'A Blot in the 'Scutcheon'. |
