Stopford Brooke

Stopford A. Brooke is an erudite scholar and researcher who contributed immensely to the critical tradition of British literature. His critical works are considered seminal in that they contain original and deep insights. The Poetry of Robert Browning holds testimony to Brooke’s method of analysis and exposition of a complex writer like Browning.

Apart from this book, Brooke has authored a full-length study of Browning entitled, Impressions of Browning and his Art. He also published several articles on Browning in such well known periodicals as The New England Magazine and The Century. Another Victorian poet he has an abiding interest in is Lord Tennyson. His critical work, Tennyson: His Art and Relation to Modern Life is regarded as a signal contribution to the Tennyson scholarship.
