ABSTRACT

From his review. Probably Grant Allen (1848-99), author of Physiological Aesthetics and some

thirty works of fiction. Those who admire Mr. Browning will admire the present idyls: those who find

him incomprehensible will find the latest addition to his incomprehensibles more incomprehensible than ever. Probably no poem which he has ever written will prove a sorer stumbling-block to bewildered spellers-out of his meaning than the all but inarticulate story of Ned Bratts.
