Excerpt from Robert Browning and the English Pre-Raphaelites But the spiritual father of the new Romanticists in England, though possibly neither he nor they knew it, was, we believe, Robert Browning - Quarterly Review, July, 1896. Scattered surmises of Browning's influence upon Pre-Raphaelite artists occur in various monographs and studies dealing with the Pre-Raphaelite movement in its individual or corporate character. W.M. Rossetti acknowledges some amount of influence upon his brother's work, A.C. Benson, Rossetti's most recent biographer, the same, Arthur Symons in An introduction to the study of Browning instances influence upon William Morris, Robert Steele, who treats Morris in the revised edition of Chambers's Cyclopædia, does so too, Ester Wood in Dante Rossetti and the Pre-Raphaelite Movement allows some indebtedness in Rossetti's case and W. Hamilton in his sketch of the Æsthetic Movement, which in its earlier stages he identifies with the Pre-Raphaelite, finds characteristics of Æsthesticism in Browning. That writers of whom these mentioned are only a selection, in nothing influence do not all detect it in the same places, opens a possibility that the phenomenon is more diffused that they think. The writer on Rossetti in the Quarterly Review for July, 1896, hazards the conjecture with which I have prefaced this essay, that Browning was the Pre-Raphaelites' spiritual father. It will palpably repay investigating to what extent Browning served as inspirer and model, if he did not, like Ruskin, stand sponsor, to the Pre-Raphaelite group.
