Items related to Robert Browning: His Life and Work
Synopsis
In the setting of the Victorian age of discovery and reform in England, of revolution in Europe and civil war in America, this is a tribute to one of the greatest and most important English poets. In the words of the biographer, Browning was 'a revolutionary who broke away from conventional subjects and their conventional treatment to write about real men and women in a language not far removed from real speech. He is, in brief, the founder of modern English poetry...' Moreover, Browning's compassionate nature is demonstrated by his enduring relationship with Elizabeth Barrett - their letters are among the masterpieces of the English language. F E Halliday brings the man and the poet closer to us.
