Excerpt from Homage to Robert Browning

This book has resulted from a course in the study of the poetry of Robert Browning which I took while attending Baylor University. My knowledge of the poet and his work was extremely limited - and I fear prejudiced but - the more I studied, the greater was my enthusiasm and admiration. This led me to undertake for my senior thesis (A.B.) the gathering of tributes to Robert Brownins;, and the task has afforded me much pleasure - despite the immense amount of work necessary to collect these poems and secure the privilege to print them.

Some poems contained in the volume have never before been published: they were written and read at special Browning functions, and it has been due to the generous co-operation of Browning lovers everywhere that I have been able to locate these lines. Even now I have secured information concerning other poems which I fear will not reach me in time to include in this book. I feel certain that there will be another volume issued as a supplement to this one, so that I now appeal to all readers to send to me or to Dr. A. J. Armstrong, Baylor University, Waco, Texas, any other poems or information concerning other poems which I have not included. At first it was purposed to include parodies, but the collection grew to such proportions - and the parodies have a unity in themselves - that it was decided to use only the serious poems and to issue later a collection known as Parodies of Robert Browning's Poems. Any one knowing of parodies will confer a great favor by reporting such poems. Since the admirers of Browning live in every clime and follow every walk in life, one will not be surprised to find here a variety of verses, and as a natural result the contrast in poems is at times marked, yet all have sought to render "Homage to Robert Browning" - so that in our arrangement there is no first or last."
