Dramatic Monologue
The dramatic monologue is traditionally associated with Victorian poets such as Robert Browning and Alfred Tennyson, and is generally considered to have disappeared with the onset of modernism in the twentieth century. Glennis Byron unravels its history and argues that, contrary to belief, the monologue remains popular to this day. This far-reaching and neatly structured volume: * explores the origins of the monologue and presents a history of definitions of the term * considers the monologue as a form of social critique * explores issues at play in our understanding of the genre, such as subjectivity, gender and politics * traces the development of the genre through to the present day. Taking as example the increasingly politicized nature of contemporary poetry, the author clearly and succinctly presents an account of the monologue's growing popularity over the past twenty years.
Browning and the Dramatic Monologue
In "Browning and the Dramatic Monologue," S. S. Curry meticulously explores the intricate artistry of Robert Browning's contributions to the dramatic monologue, a form that allows the speaker to convey emotional depth and psychological complexity. Curry deftly examines the structural and thematic nuances of Browning's work, emphasizing how his innovative use of voice and persona reshaped poetic expression in the Victorian era. The book is distinguished not only by its analytical rigor but also by its integration of historical context, situating Browning's work within the broader trends of 19th-century literature, including the interplay of public and private life which reflected the societal transformations of the time. Curry, a scholar well-versed in Victorian literature, draws upon both extensive research and personal insights, likely influenced by his fascination with how individual identity is articulated in literature. His academic background enriches the study, as he connects Browning's techniques to psychological theories emerging during the period, offering a comprehensive understanding of the poet's innovative depictions of character.
