CHAPTER.I
1.1. Robert Browning and his biography.
Robert Browning was a prominent English poet of the Victorian era who was born in London on May 7, 1812, and died in Venice on December 12, 1889. He is renowned for his mastery of the dramatic monologue and psychological characterization. His best-known work is The Ring and the Book (1868–1899), a 12-volume account of a Roman murder trial. Browning, a London-based Bank of England clerk's son, only had a minimal formal education, albeit his father taught him a foundation in Greek and Latin. He enrolled in classes at the University of London in 1828 but only stayed for the first half. Except for a trip to St. Petersburg in 1834 with the Russian consul general George de Benkhausen and two brief stays in Italy in 1838 and 1844, he spent his time in London with his parents up until 1846, first in Camberwell and then, until 1840, in Hatcham. He wrote the majority of his plays and his first lengthy poetry between the years of 1832-46. Although nominally a dramatic monologue, Browning's first piece of literature, Pauline: A Fragment of a Confession (1833, anonymous), captured many of his own adolescent feelings and fears. Although it garnered some positive feedback, John Stuart Mill criticised it, criticizing the poet's "intense and morbid self-consciousness" and his "exposure and exploitation of his own feelings." Perhaps Mill's criticism inspired Browning to write objectively rather than ever again admit his personal emotions in his poetry. He published the poems Paracelsus (1835) and Sordello (1840), which both feature highly accomplished men attempting to balance the demands of their individual personalities with those of the outside world. While Sordello, which made high demands on its reader's understanding, was generally seen as being incomprehensible, Paracelsus was favorably accepted. Browning was encouraged to write verse drama by actor Charles Macready, a genre he had already embraced for Strafford, and he did so for a number of years (1837). He wrote seven more plays in verse between 1841 and 1846 in a collection of pamphlets with the working title Bells and Pomegranates, including Pippa Passes (1841), A Blot in the 'Scutcheon (1843), and Luria (1846). (1846). His family paid for the printing of all of his earlier works—except for Strafford—including these. Although Browning enjoyed writing for the stage, he did not have much success there because, as he had said of Strafford, "Action in Character, rather than Character in Action," was his area of expertise. The first stage of Browning's life was almost over by 1845. He met Elizabeth Barrett in that year. Barrett had praise for Browning in her Poems (1844), and Browning thanked her in a letter (January 1845). They first met in May and quickly realized they were in love. However, Barrett had spent many years as an invalid, segregated in her room, and believed to be incurable. Furthermore, her father was an abusive and egotistical guy who was envious of his daughter since she had grown to depend on his love. The lovers, who had been communicating and meeting frequently, were compelled to take action when her physicians ordered her to Italy for her health and her father objected. A week after getting married in secret in September 1846, they traveled to Pisa. Despite taking vacations in France and England, they lived the majority of their married lives in Italy, primarily in Florence where they maintained a residence at Casa Guidi. Their income was modest, but after the birth of their son Robert in 1849, John Kenyon, a relative of Mrs. Browning, gave them an allowance of £100 annually. When he passed away in 1856, he also bequeathed them £11,000. During his marriage, Browning wrote comparatively little poetry. Apart from a collected edition in 1849, Browning only published Christmas-Eve and Easter-Day (1850), a study of various perspectives on Christianity that may have been directly influenced by the death of his mother in 1849; An Introduction to Some False Letters of Shelley (1852), which is Browning's only significant work in prose and his only piece of critical writing; and Men and Women (1855). This was a collection of 51 poems, including dramatic lyrics like "Memorabilia," "Love Among the Ruins," and "A Toccata of Galuppi's," great monologues like "Fra Lippo Lippi," "How It Strikes a Contemporary," and "Bishop Blougram's Apology," and a select few poems where he broke his rule and spoke of himself and his wife, either implicitly ("By the Fireside") or But there was no significant sale for Men and Women, and many of the reviews were unfavorable and useless. Browning wrote little in the years that followed, focusing instead on clay modeling and sketches during the day and his friends' company at night after being first disappointed by the response to his work. Finally, Mrs. Browning's health started to deteriorate after being miraculously cured by her life in Italy. She passed away in her husband's arms on June 29, 1861. He slowly made his way back to London in the fall with his small son. When he got back, his first job was to get his wife's final poems ready for the media. He initially shunned company, but with time he started to accept invitations more freely and integrate himself into society. In 1863, a new collection of his poetry was needed, but Pauline was left out. It was evident that Browning had finally achieved some level of public acclaim when his next collection of poems, Dramatis Personae (1864), which included "Abt Vogler," "Rabbi Ben Ezra," "Caliban upon Setebos," and "Mr. Sludge, 'The Medium'," reached two editions. His most famous work, The Ring and the Book, which was based on the events of a murder trial in Rome in 1698, was published in 1868–1869 by the author. Grand in both conception and execution, it was immediately greeted with enthusiasm, and Browning was cemented as one of the most significant writers of the time. He continued to be in high demand in London society for the remainder of his life. With companions, he spent his summers in France, Scotland, Switzerland, or, starting in 1878, Italy. Long narrative or dramatic poems, frequently dealing with modern themes, such as Prince Hohenstiel-Schwangau (1871), Fifine at the Fair (1872), Red Cotton Night-Cap Country (1873), The Inn Album (1875), and the two series of Dramatic Idyls, were among his most significant works in his later years, when he wrote with great fluency (1879 and 1880). In addition to Aristophanes' Apology and Balaustion's Adventure (1871), he also penned a number of poems on classical themes (1875). Along with numerous collections of shorter poems, including Pacchiarotto and How He Worked in Distemper (1876), Jocoseria (1883), Ferishtah's Fancies (1884), and Asolando: Fancies and Facts (1889), Browning also published two unusually personal works toward the end of his life: La Saisiaz (1878), an elegy for his friend Anne Egerton-Smith and a meditation on mortality, and Parleyings with Certain Browning suffered a cold while visiting Venice in 1889, was unwell, and passed away on December 12 of that year. In Westminster Abbey, he was laid to rest.
