Thirteen years after the publication, in 1855, of the Poems, in two volumes, entitled Men and Women, Browning reviewed his work and made an interesting reclassification of it. He separated the simpler pieces of a lyric or epic cast-such rhymed presentations of an emotional moment, for example, as Mesmerism and A Woman’s Last Word, or the picturesque rhymed verse telling a story of an experience, such as Childe Roland and The Statue and the Bust -from their more complex companions, which were almost altogether in blank verse, and, in general, markedly personified a typical man in his environment, a Cleon or Fra Lippo, a Rudel or a Blougram.
