Robert Browning and the Gothic Imagination explores the centrality of familiar motifs associated with Gothic literature in Browning's literary development. The book builds on a series of critical observations about Gothic and Browning, largely from scholarly literature of the last decade, to explore the importance of the genre in Browning’s intellectual formation and development. Providing readers with a simpler and more straightforward Browning - a poet among whose most accomplished and important poems are also some of his most popular - the book also shows how a Gothic perspective allows him to navigate difficult and obscure emotions, and significantly restores Browning to the heart of Gothic literature. The primary readers for this book are academics and postgraduate students in the fields of Victorian literature and Gothic studies.
