Given Browning's intensely romantic love affair with Elizabeth Barrett, it is characteristic that he should view love as the key to the meaning of life and life's animating force. This view of life is projected throughout his poetry. Included in this collection are Johannes Agricola in Meditation, The Pied Piper of Hamelin, Fra Lippo Lippi, A Toccata of Galuppi's, The Lost Leader, The Statue and the Bust, How it Strikes a Contemporary, The Patriot, Memorabilia, James Lee's Wife, Confessions, Youth and Art, A Likeness, Mr. Sludge, The Medium, House, St. Martin's Summer, The Names, Beatrice Signorini, Spring Song, and others.
