Contents
Many of the original titles given by Browning to the poems in this collection, as with its "follow-up" collection Dramatic Romances and Lyrics, are different from the ones he later gave them in various editions of his collected works.{{Citation needed|date=October 2020}} Since this book was originally self-published in a very small edition, these poems are now always referred to by their later titles.
The poems were written between 1836 (possibly late 1835) and 1842.{{Cite book |last=Browning |first=Robert |url=http://archive.org/details/browningpoetical00brow |title=Browning, poetical works, 1833-1864; |last2=Jack |first2=Ian |date=1970 |publisher=London, New York, Oxford U.P. |others=Internet Archive |isbn=978-0-19-254165-9}}
