Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sordello: A History and a Poem This article was originally written in Canada between 1850 and 1855. It was drawn, so far as it is historic, from some old "Croniche," both printed and manuscript, deposited in the library of the Canadian Parliament, said to have belonged to one of the early Jesuit explorers. These perished afterward in a fire which destroyed the library. The article was first prepared for a drawing-room lecture. Afterward, to satisfy some pupils, it was condensed and printed in a magazine in 1872. It is now reprinted as a tract for distribution, at the request of certain members of the Browning Society in England, and of Browning Clubs in this country, who probably would not want it so very much if they could see it beforehand! I have yielded to the request because I feel that the poem is especially dear to its "maker," and that it holds a lesson much needed in these modern days. When Browning rewrote it, he injured it; and I have allowed my old quotations from the first edition to stand, re-arranging his lines sometimes to throw out the meaning. His changes, however, are significant of the growth of his own nature. For example, in the first edition we read, - "Here is a soul, whom to affect Nature has plied with all her means from trees And flowers, e´en to the multitude; And is it to be saved or no, That soul?" But in the last edition we read, - "E´en to the multitude, and these Decides he save or no?" The movement of the lines turns on a new pivot, but one at last indestructible; so I preserve the later reading.
