Chesterton LIFE OF ROBERT BROWNING by William Sharp LIFE AND LETTERS OF ROBERT BROWNING by Mrs. Sutherland Orr Review: good kindle volume - All the links work. The photos and images are lovely and easy to see. As I'm jut beginning my voyage into Browning, whether or not the volume is actually the "complete" works is something I'm unable to verify. But pleasing to me, a copyright page is included. It's a nice volume. Review: Contents page problem fixed - have edited my comment and upgraded the stars - Had originally given one star for the Kindle version, not for Browning's poetry, obviously, saying that after updating to a touch-screen Kindle the contents page had become entirely useless, consisting just of a list of bookmarks. Now editing my comment to say that the problem is not insoluble, only not obvious. The irritating list of useless bookmarks remains, but scrolling back to the very beginning of the book (before the "Beginning" indicated in the "Go to" function), a workable list of contents can be found. Have upgraded my stars accordingly.
