ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Robert Browning

English poet and playwright. He was born in London in 1812 and died in Venice in 1889. Inheriting from his father an attachment to thrift and also a facility for versification, he wrote, at only twelve years old, a volume of poems which he called UnconventionalHe published a vast body of work, among which the poems stand out. Paulina (the first to be published, in 1835), Paracelsus (1835) and Sordello (1840); the pieces Strafford (1837), Pippa Passes (1841) and A Dullness on Armory (1843). Above all, the development he gave to the technique of dramatic monologue and the poem. The Ring and the Book (1868-1869) guarantee him an important place in nineteenth-century English poetry. In 1884, the University of Edinburgh awarded him an honorary doctorate. In 1886, he was appointed a Fellow of the Royal Academy.
