{"product_id":"the-infinite-passion-of-finite-pratul-pathak-9780820417769","title":"The Infinite Passion of Finite Hearts: Robert Browning and Failure in Love","description":"A major theme in Victorian poetry is the failure of relationships due to the lack of understanding between the individuals involved. In a series of poems, from \u003ci\u003eThe Madhouse Cells\u003c\/i\u003e (1833) to \u003ci\u003eThe Ring and the Book\u003c\/i\u003e (1968-69), Robert Browning created characters who were frustrated in relationships to illustrate the pain caused by the  infinite passion  of  finite hearts.  This study combines a close reading of the texts with aspects of psychoanalysis to show that through these poems Browning was trying to conduct a development of his own soul by imaginatively experiencing the problems lovers face due to their inability to understand each other. For this was an experience that was denied him by his  successful rescue  of Andromeda from Wimpole Street.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pratul Pathak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820417769\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820417769\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Pratul Pathak","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453410324735,"sku":"9780820417769","price":53.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4efab119-ca4d-4273-a150-65ac74859f2c.jpg?v=1777300067","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-infinite-passion-of-finite-pratul-pathak-9780820417769","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
