LECTURE ON BROWNING.
At Canterbury College, last evening. Professor F. Sinclaire lectured to a W.E.A. <-lass on the subject of Robert Browning’s poem. "Andrea Del Sarto.” Professor Sinclaire pointed out that Browning achieved his effects by means of a series of miniature word pictures; numbers of details were dealt with deftly and with sympathy. The persons in the poems had life and movement, and were not mere statues. Browning made Andrea say to Lucrezia, “You turn your face, but does it bring your heart?” Andrea was warm and passionate, Lucrezia cold and reserved. By subtle touches Browning gave his readers the atmosphere, the scene, the emotions of the players.
