On the appearance of "Pauline," it was reviewed by Rev. William Johnson Fox, as the "work of a poet and a genius." Allan Cunningham and other reviewers gave encouraging expressions. The design of "Pauline" is that spiritual drama to which Browning was always temperamentally drawn. It is supposed to be the confessions and reminiscences of a dying man, and while it is ...
