PETERSON, Linda H.
- Abstract
An essay is presented on the Victorian poet and playwright Robert Browning. The essay discusses Browning's poetic debut with the poem "Pauline" in 1833 and Browning's ambition as demonstrated by his inclusion of an epigraph from the poet Clément Marot in his first publication, as well as a preface by astrologist Cornelius Agrippa. The essay also provides an analysis of the poem and discusses the significance of the paratexts of the poem and the publisher, Saunders and Otley.
