Adventurous Robert decides to walk across a frozen lake. Suddenly he falls through the ice and sinks to the bottom where he meets an elf with magic powers. Distraught and desperate the elf tells Robert that his two sons are being held hostage in a house by the lake. Eager to help others he offers to rescue the young elves. Robert discovers that the only way into the house is by going down the chimney. He climbs up a tree, drops onto the roof and enters the house by descending the chimney. He located the two boys and with his unique bravery he helps them escape from the terrible traps in which they have been imprisoned. They have to find a way out of the house before their evil captor returns. The elves have been taught some magic by their father, and they are able to use this on a key that Robert finds in his pocket, to unlock the front door. They are reunited with their father who promised to give Robert a present for having saved his children. Robert gives them the key to his garden shed in case they should ever need refuge above ground.

Robert Browning's Language

Robert Browning's Language

Donald S. Hair

University of Toronto Press
1999
pokkari
What are the influences that shaped the language used by one of the nineteenth century's greatest writers? How did his religious beliefs, the books he owned, the paintings and music he loved, affect almost sixty years' output of poems, plays, essays, and letters? This book attempts to define Browning's understanding of the nature and use of words and syntax by considering not only a full range of texts from the 1833 Pauline to the 1889 Asolando, but also the ideas important to Browning, the historical context in which he lived, and the other artistic passions that played a part in his life. In this companion volume to Tennyson's Language, Donald Hair establishes Browning's place at the crossroads between empirical and idealist traditions and explains his "double view" of language, arguing that both Locke and the Congregationalists found language to be at the same time empty and a God-given essential. The Victorian age's anti-theatrical bias, which Browning came to share, and his reading of predecessors, principally Quarles, Bunyan, Donne, and Smart, also shaped his understanding of the diction of poetry. Hair conceives of Browning's language as a theoretical whole, encompassing words, genres, rhyme, syntax, and phonetics. He also links Browning's interest in music with his rhyming, the most essential and characteristic feature of his prosody, and relates his interest in painting to the interpretation of the visual image in the emblem and in typology.
