Robert Browning - Strafford: "What Youth deemed crystal, Age finds out was dew"

Meer over het boek

Renowned for his dramatic monologues, Robert Browning's literary journey began with early acclaim from figures like Rossetti and Dickens. His eclectic education fueled his diverse interests, though his career faced challenges with the complex Sordello. A transformative relationship with Elizabeth Barrett invigorated his work, leading to prolific writing in Italy. After her death, he produced notable works like Dramatis Personae and The Ring and the Book, solidifying his status as a significant Victorian poet before his passing in Venice in 1889.
