Robert Browning was a deeply religious man who wrestled to obtain and keep his Christian faith. His conviction was that life in this world is so riddled with evil and sorrow that only a future life can make sense out of it. He viewed life as a training ground which God provided in His divine love and sovereign will.

Given Browning’s intensely romantic love affair with Elizabeth Barrett, it is characteristic that he should view love as life’s animating force and the key to its meaning. To Browning, the most dreaded fate would be to live a "ghastly smooth life, dead at heart." This view of life is projected throughout his poetry.

Included in this collection are "Johannes Agricola in Meditation", "The Pied Piper of Hamelin", "Youth and Art", "Beatrice Signorini", "Spring Song", and many others.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Robert Browning

Poeta e dramaturgo inglês. Nasceu em Londres em 1812 e faleceu em Veneza em 1889. Herdando de seu pai o apego à economia e também a facilidade para a versificação, escreveu, com apenas doze anos, um volume de poesias a que chamou Incondita. Publicou uma vasta obra, de onde se destacam os poemas Paulina (o primeiro a ser publicado, em 1835), Paracelso (1835) e Sordello (1840); as peças Strafford (1837), Pippa Passes (1841) e A Dullness on Armory (1843). Sobretudo, o desenvolvimento que deu à técnica do monólogo dramático e o poema The Ring and the Book (1868-1869) garantem-lhe um lugar importante na poesia inglesa de Oitocentos. Em 1884, a Universidade de Edimburgo conferiu-lhe o título de doutor "honoris causa". Em 1886, foi nomeado membro da Royal Academy.
