Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Browning's Heroines When this book was projected, some one asked, What is there to say about Brownings heroines beyond what he said himself? and the question, though it could not stay me, did chill momentarily my primal ardour. Soon, however, the restorative answer presented itself. If there were nothing to say about Brownings heroines beyond what he said himself, it would be a bad mark against him. For to suggest to open magic casements surely is the office of our artists in every sort: thus, for them to say all that there is to say about anything is to show the casement stuck fast, as it were, and themselves battering somewhat desperately to open it. Saying the things about is the other peoples function. It is as if we suddenly saw a princess come out upon her castle-walls, and hymned that fair emergence, which to herself is nothing. Browning, I think, is coming back, as stars come back. There has been the period of obscuration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
