But in order to reassess Robert Browning’s achievement, one might trace a line starting with Aristophanes’ dramatic use of the parabasis, evolving with the Roman satire, and going through John Donne’s game with the reader, conceived of as a silent auditor. Browning also put to good use the generic hybridity of his Romantic predecessors who endeavoured to master the spoken word within the written word.
