BROWNING, Robert HAIR, Donald S. Robert Browning's Language.
University of Toronto Press, Toronto, 1999, ISBN:0802044344
(BROWNING, Robert). HAIR, Donald S. Robert Browning's Language. Toronto : University of Toronto Press, (1999). First Edition. Pp [i]-viii,(2),[1]-326.Illustrated. Index. 8vo, black cloth, gilt lettering to spine. "What are t he influences that shaped the language used by one of the nineteenth century's greatest writers? How did his religious beliefs, the books he owned, the paintings and music he loved, affect almost sixty years' output of poems,plays, essays, and letters? This book attempts to define Browning's unders tanding of the nature and use of words and syntax by considering not only afull range of texts from the 1833 Pauline to the 1889 Asolando, but also t he ideas important to Browning, the historical context in which he lived, and the other artistic passions that played a part in his life. In this companion volume to Tennyson's Language, Donald Hair establishes Browning's place at the crossroads between empirical and idealist traditions and explainshis "double view" of language, arguing that both Locke and the Congregatio nalists found language to be at the same time empty and a God-given essential. The Victorian age's anti-theatrical bias, which Browning came to share,and his reading of predecessors, principally Quarles, Bunyan, Donne, and S mart, also shaped his understanding of the diction of poetry. Hair conceives of Browning's language as a theoretical whole, encompassing words, genres, rhyme, syntax, and phonetics. He also links Browning's interest in music with his rhyming, the most essential and characteristic feature of his prosody, and relates his interest in painting to the interpretation of the visual image in the emblem and in typology." - from the dj. Contents : Introduction: 'Sense, sight and song'. 1. 'The world of words': Johnson, Locke, andCongregationalism. 2. Parleying, Troping, and Fragmenting: Pauline, Parace lsus, and Sordello. 3.

'For how else know we save by worth of word?': The Ring and the Book. 7. 'One thing has many sides': Browning's 'transcripts,' Balaustion's Adventure and Aristophanes' Apology. 8. 'Do you say this, or I?': Browning's 'parleyings,' La Saisiaz, Red Cotton Night-Cap Country and Fifine at the Fair. Overview and Conclusion. Very good in dustjacket. UTP review sliplaid in. 45.00
