"Browning and Dogma" by Ethel M. Naish is a scholarly work composed of seven lectures examining the poet Robert Browning's perspectives on dogmatic religion, likely written in the early 20th century. The central theme of the book is an analysis of Browning's poetic expressions and how they relate to beliefs about God, morality, and the nature of existence. The opening lecture begins with an overview of Browning's theological positions as portrayed through various poems, setting the stage for an in-depth exploration of his attitudes towards faith and doubt. At the start of the text, Ethel M. Naish introduces the concept that Browning’s poetry deeply grapples with fundamental questions of truth and belief amid the philosophical uncertainties of his time. She outlines how his work reflects both confidence in the soul's enduring nature and a critique of the prevailing doubts expressed by contemporary poets. The first lecture analyzes Browning's poem "Caliban upon Setebos," presenting Caliban's crude yet complex view of divinity as a starting point for understanding the evolution of Browning's religious thought. By establishing the groundwork of this dialogue between the individual and the divine, Naish sets up the subsequent lectures that will delve into more specific texts, revealing Browning's search for meaning within the framework of dogmatic religion.
