The Poetry of Robert Browning

Robert Browning was one of the great poets of the Victorian era. His writing is as eclectic as it is interesting, a reflection of Browning's own voracious reading habits. Dramatic monologues such as 'Mv Last Duchess' and 'Porphyria's Lover' display Browning's masterful ability to capture characters and convey the human condition, while narrative poems such as 'How They Brought the Good News from Ghent to Aix' and the much-loved The Pied Piper of Hamelin' show his immense skill as a storyteller.
