Browingmania:  America鈥檚 Love for Robert Browning (2014, Cambria Press) is the title of a new book by H茅di Jaouad, professor of French.

According to the publisher鈥檚 web site, 鈥淚n the 1880s and 1890s, the Victorian poet Robert Browning was the 鈥榣ion鈥 of the day in the United States, particularly in Rochester. Browning鈥檚 work was widely read and discussed. Even today, there are still many in America who consider themselves Browningites, and many of them belong to Browning clubs and societies.鈥

Jaouad鈥檚 book is 鈥渢he fruit of thorough and patient archival digging鈥 and is  鈥渢he first study that examines Browningmania sychronically, through a local lens, as a way of understanding the phenomenon as whole.鈥
