The following list of the published writings of Robert Browning, in the order of their publication, has been compiled mainly from Dr. Furnivall’s very complete and serviceable Browning Bibliography, contained in the first part of the Browning Society’s Papers (pp. 21-71). Volumes of “Selections” are not noticed in this list: there have been many in England, some in Germany, and in the Tauchnitz Collection, and a large number in America, where an edition of the complete works was first published, in seven volumes, by Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin & Co., Boston.
