      <div type="chapter" label="From the editor's footnote: &quot;&quot;Robert Browning's Men and Women had been published on November 1, 1855, and reviewed on the same day in the Athenaeum (pp. 1327-8). To Allingham, Rossetti confided that 'Ruskin, on reading Men and Women... declared them rebelliously to be a mass of conundrums, and compelled me to sit down before him and lay siege for one whole night: the result of which was that he sent me next morning a bulky letter to be forwarded to B, in which I trust he told him he was the greatest man since Shakespeare.&quot;&quot; (DGR letters, p. 283). Browning held the letter to be 'dear, too dear, and good.' The poem which most appealed to Ruskin was An Epistle Containing the Strange Medical Experience of Karshish, the Arab Physician.&quot;&quot;&#10;&#10;From a letter written to Ellen Heaton in late November 1855, and footnote information from a letter written by Rossetti to Allingham.
