Parleyings with Certain People of Importance in Their Day
Review notes Browning’s Parleyings with figures like Furini Gerard de Lairesse and Charles Avison. Prologue and epilogue Apollo and the Fates read as lyric drama. the longer Parleyings mix poetry with historical personae showing Browning’s vigorous intellect and distinctive language. The critic praises Gerard de Lairesse and Avison sections as especially strong, while cautioning readers that this volume lacks the dramatic force of Browning’s best prior work.
