“1898, Charlotte Porter and Helen A. Clarke, Introduction to The Complete Works of Robert Browning, New York: Thomas Y. Crowell, Volume 3, p. xix, This tremendous scene […] is, in some respects of stage action, a counterpart of the awful scene between Lady Macbeth and the Thane of Cawdor after Duncan’s murder.
