[Footnote 5: A particularly interesting dramatic event was Mrs. Lemoyne's presentation of _In a Balcony_ at Wallack's Theater, New York, in the autumn of 1900. Mrs. Lemoyne was the Queen, Otis Skinner was Norbet, and Eleanor Robson was Constance. See _The Bookman_, 12, 387.]

The great number of books and articles on Browning and his work is shown by the Bibliography of Biography and Criticism prepared by John P. Anderson of the British Museum and printed in William Sharp's _Life of Robert Browning_. The selection to be given here can hardly more than suggest this large amount of material.
The 1888-9 edition of Browning's _Works_ by Smith, Elder and Company incorporates Browning's last revisions and his own punctuation. The Macmillan edition in nine volumes in 1894 reproduces this text.
For biographical material important books are:
_The Letters of Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett 1845-1846_, two volumes, 1902, Harper Brothers.
_The Letters of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Edited with Biographical Additions by Frederic G. Kenyon._ Macmillan, 1897. (Two volumes in one, 1899.)
_The Life and Letters of Robert Browning_ by Mrs. A. Sutherland Orr in 1891. A new edition, revised and in part rewritten by Mr. Frederick G. Kenyon, was brought out by Houghton, Mifflin and Company in 1908. Mrs. Orr and Mr. Kenyon were both friends of Browning and could speak with authority on many details of his life.
_Robert Browning, Personalia_, by Edmund Gosse. Houghton Mifflin and Company, 1890. This book consists of a reprint of two articles, one from _The Century Magazine_ on "The Early Career of Robert Browning," and one from _The New Review_ entitled "Personal Impressions." These articles are of exceptional interest because Mr. Gosse lived near Mr. Browning at Warwick Crescent and they were on terms of close friendship. In _Critical Kit-Kats_, 1896, Mr. Gosse gives the story of _Sonnets from the Portuguese_.
_Robert Browning._ In _Bookman Biographies_, edited by W. Robertson Nicholl. Hodder and Stoughton, London. Many interesting illustrations.
