Summary:

"This volume presents poetry Browning wrote in his seventies, his last two books: Parleyings (1887) and Asolando (1889). Both volumes are presented here with previously unknown sources, a wealth of new contextual material, and many textual nuances clarified, giving a fresh view of the last phase of Browning's career. What emerges is a poet more seriously Christian, Protestant, and Liberal than previously supposed, more interested in Britain's destiny and Empire, more enmeshed in the local battles of the 1880s - and a writer of considerable range and wit." --Book Jacket v. 15

Volume I provides the first and final texts of Pauline carefully annotated with emphasis on the literary background of the poem rather than its supposedly authobiographical reference. It also includes the manuscript of Paracelsus in the Forster Collection in the Victoria and Albert Museum printed here for the first time.
