Southwell, Samuel B.,

Quest for Eros Browning and 'Fifine' / Samuel B. Southwell. - Lexington : The University Press of Kentucky, (c)1980. - 1 online resource.

Includes bibliographies and index.

Students of Browning have long been puzzled by the discrepancies between the dramatic framework of Fifine and its symbolic development, but these difficulties are resolved in Southwell's explication by a biographical hypothesis. The powerful influence of the memory of his beloved wife, Elizabeth, involved Browning in a deep ambivalence, and Fifine at the Fair represents his effort to escape the effects of the profound inhibitions associated with her memory, while at the same time remaining loyal to it.
