Browingmania:  America’s Love for Robert Browning (2014, Cambria Press) is the title of a new book by Hédi Jaouad, professor of French.

According to the publisher’s web site, “In the 1880s and 1890s, the Victorian poet Robert Browning was the ‘lion’ of the day in the United States, particularly in Rochester. Browning’s work was widely read and discussed. Even today, there are still many in America who consider themselves Browningites, and many of them belong to Browning clubs and societies.”

Jaouad’s book is “the fruit of thorough and patient archival digging” and is  “the first study that examines Browningmania sychronically, through a local lens, as a way of understanding the phenomenon as whole.”
