About the book

Robert Browning's Dramatic Monologues gives voice to speakers whose stories reveal more than they intend. Artists, lovers and figures of power explain or defend themselves, allowing jealousy, vanity, ambition and self-deception to emerge through the rhythms of their own speech. Browning's interest lies as much in what remains unsaid as in the declared argument. Selected and introduced by A. S. Byatt, this collection shows how he turned the lyric poem into a form of psychological drama, inviting readers to listen closely and judge the distance between a speaker's account and the truth.
