Robert Browning Bücher

Příběh o krysaři, jemuž starosta a radní města upřou odměnu za to, že zbavil město krys, a on se jim za to krutě pomstí, je založen na skutečnosti, ale známým se stal až řadou uměleckých zpracování. Po J. W. Goethovi, bratřích Grimmových atd. a před Waltem Disneyem či Viktorem Dykem nejproslulejší verzi tohoto příběhu vytvořil anglický básník Robert Browning (1812–1889). Kniha s původními ilustracemi Kate Greenawayové (1846–1901) a ve dvojjazyčné úpravě vychází v češtině poprvé.

With an Introduction by Dr Tim Cook. Robert Browning (1812-1889) represents the intellectual and argumentative strand in English poetry in contrast to the more ornate style of Spenser and Tennyson. His poetry demonstrates how a poet must be a sharp perceptive observer of the complexity of the human condition. Perhaps his most moving poetry was written to express his feelings for his wife, the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning, in which he deals in a very 'modern' way with the uncomfortable fact that we can never quite bridge the gap between ourselves and the people we love.

This comprehensive selection includes over eighty of Browning's shorter poems, amongst them his most famous and best-loved dramatic monologues, as well as the complete text of many of his longer poems. This edition also selects generously from the love letters between Browning and Elizabeth Barrett, as well as from Browning's more general correspondence.

Robert Browning was one of the greatest of English poets, whose intense and original imagination enabled him to transform any subject he chose - whether everyday or sublime - into startling memorable verse. In his work he brought to life the personalities of a diverse range of characters, and introduced a new immediacy, colloquial energy and psychological complexity to the poetry of his day. This selection brings together verse ranging from early dramatic monologues such as the chilling 'My Last Duchess' and the ribald 'Fra Lippo Lippi', which show his gift for inhabiting the mind of another, to the popular children's poem 'The Pied Piper of Hamelin' and many lesser known works. All display his innovative techniques of diction, rhythm and symbol, which transformed Victorian poetry and influenced major poets of the twentieth century such as Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot and Robert Frost.

You were right to bid me never again wish my poor flowers were 'diamonds' - you could not, I think, speak so to my heart of any diamonds. God knows my life is for you to take just as you take - these last please you, serve you best when plucked - and 'my life's rose'.. if I dared profane that expression I would say, you have but to 'stoop' for it. Foolish, as all words are. You dwell on that notion of your being peculiarly isolated, - of any kindness to you, in your present state, seeming doubled and quadrupled - what do I, what could anyone infer from that but, most obviously, that it was a very fortunate thing for such kindness, and that the presumable bestower of it got all his distinction from the fact that no better.. however, I hate this and cannot go on. Dearest, believe that under ordinary circumstances, with ordinary people, all operates differently - the imaginary kindness-bestower with his ideal methods of showing and proving his love, - there would be the rival to fear!

Junto a Chaucer y Shakespeare, Robert Browning (1812-1889) fue considerado por Ezra Pound como uno de los tres grandes hitos de la literatura británica de todos los tiempos. La hondura psicológica y las innovaciones formales que introdujo en el discurso poético, dejaron huella profunda en la lírica inglesa y norteamericana del siglo XX, desde el propio Pound y T.S. Eliot a Louis Zukofsky o John Ashbery, pasando por Dylan Thomas, Robert Lowell y John Berryman, entre otros.
