Men and Women e-bog

Browning's Men and Women consists of fifty-one poems, all of which are monologues spoken by different narrators, some identified and some not; the first fifty take in a very diverse range of historical, religious or European situations, with the fifty-first - "e;One Word More"e; - featuring Browning himself as narrator and dedicated to his wife. The title of the collection came from a line in her Sonnets from the Portuguese. Browning himself was very fond of the collection, referring to the poems as "e;My fifty men and women"e; (from the opening line in One Word More), and today, Men and Women has been described as one of Victorian England's most significant books.
