Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Message of Robert Browning
Browning's attitude to the age in which he lived may be compared with that of the Hebrew Prophets, who, while they breathed the exalted atmosphere of noble ideals more or less to themselves apart, neverthe less touched in most real earnest the sluggish mass of life around them, stirring up slumbering consciences, dis illusioning the self-satisfied, awaken ing dead souls to newness of life, and substituting for the heavy weight of a soul-destroying materialism a living faith in n and humanity.
