During this period, Browning felt overshadowed by the stellar success of his wife. Later in life, renewed public interest in his writing would elevate Robert Browning into the pantheon of greatest poets. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Thirteen years after the publication of \"Men and Women,\" Browning revisited the collection, and a new vision emerged. He separated the simpler, emotionally rhymed poems, such as \"Mesmerism\" and \"A Woman's Last Word,\" and the picturesque rhymed verse, such as \"Childe Roland\" and \"The Statue and the Bust,\" from their more complex companions, such as \"Cleon,\" \"Fra Lippo,\" and \"Rudel\". \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Finally, Browning succeeded in producing the dramatic concept he had tried to communicate two decades earlier, not by adding, but by removing stray conceptual pieces. This volume was then published as \"Transcendentalism: A Poem In Twelve Books\" to a frenzied reception. This large sized special edition contains the restored manuscript of Robert Browning's unique poetic masterpiece. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eExcerpt From \"Andrea Del Sarto\" in \"Men and Women\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e All Rights Reserved\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But do not let us quarrel any more, \u003cbr\u003e No, my Lucrezia; bear with me for once: \u003cbr\u003e Sit down and all shall happen as you wish.\u003cbr\u003e You turn your face, but does it bring your heart?\u003cbr\u003e I'll work then for your friend's friend, never fear, \u003cbr\u003e Treat his own subject after his own way, \u003cbr\u003e Fix his own time, accept too his own price, \u003cbr\u003e And shut the money into this small hand\u003cbr\u003e When next it takes mine.
