`excellent text produced in Oxford from Browning's last supervised edition with judicious editorial corrections. This is indeed essentially a purified version of the canonical texts we all know ... In addition, the editing is based on full reference to the Brownings' correspondence, manuscripts, proof sheets, and corrected copies of various sorts, and provides authoritative information about the publishing history and revisions.' Victorian Poetry, Vol 31, No 3/Autumn 1993
`excellent ... detailed in its bibliographical information' Eric Griffiths, Times Literary Supplement
`All readers of Browning will have their appreciation enhanced by the fine work here. Like the preceding volumes, this one is meticulously researched and edited, ...The text as a whole is well laid out and easy to read. The editors have examined meticulously the 1888-9 text in the light of all previous texts and Browning's known corrections. What they give us is something as near as it is possible to get to Browning's final wishes: the 1888-9 text without its blemishes. ... The annotation is excellent, never heavy or irrelevant, but always incisive and to the point; it comes out of a wide acquaintance with Browning's reading, and with all relevant contemporary matter.'Stefan Hawlin, Review of English Studies
