With an Introduction by Dr Tim Cook

Robert Browning (1812-1889) represents the intellectual and argumentative strand in English poetry in contrast to the more ornate style of Spenser and Tennyson. His poetry demonstrates how a poet must be a sharp perceptive observer of the complexity of the human condition.

Perhaps his most moving poetry was written to express his feelings for his wife, the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning, in which he deals in a very 'modern' way with the uncomfortable fact that we can never quite bridge the gap between ourselves and the people we love.

AUTHOR:
Robert Browning (1812-1889), with Alfred Lord Tennyson, is considered one of the two major poets of the Victorian age. Though his poetry was known to the cognoscenti from fairly early on in his life, but he remained relatively obscure as a poet till his middle age.
