Some of the most valuable criticism of Browning"s Poetry has been produced and published by The Browning Society of London, founded in 1881 by Dr. F. J. Furnivall, and still in active operation.
Dr. Furnivall"s "Bibliography of Robert Browning", occupying Part I. of "The Browning Society"s Papers", and continued in Part II., is a storehouse of valuable information, of all kinds, pertaining to Browning"s Poetry, and to Browning the man. Every Browning student should possess a copy of it. The following papers, among others, have been published by the Society:--
