    Robert Browning

    Robert Browning was born on May 7, 1812, in Camberwell, England.


    His mother was an accomplished pianist and a devout Christian. His father,
    who worked as a bank clerk, was also an artist, scholar, antiquarian, and
    collector of books and pictures. Much of Browning's education came from
    his well-read father.

    A bright and anxious student, Browning learned Latin, Greek, and French by
    the time he was fourteen. From fourteen to sixteen he was educated at
    home, attended to by various tutors in music, drawing, dancing, and
    horsemanship.

    At the age of twelve he wrote a volume of Byronic verse entitled Incondita.

    In 1828, Browning enrolled at the University of London, but he soon left,


    anxious to read and learn at his own pace.
    The random nature of his education later surfaced in his writing, leading to
    criticism of his poems' obscurities.

    In 1833, Browning anonymously published his first major published work,


    Pauline, and in 1840 he published Sordello, which was widely regarded as a
    failure.

    He also tried his hand at drama, but his plays, were for the most part
    unsuccessful.

    Nevertheless, the techniques he developed are regarded as his most


    important contribution to poetry, influencing such major poets of the
    twentieth.

    He met Elizabeth Barret and they got married in 1846, against the wishes of
    Barrett's father. The couple moved to Pisa and then Florence, where they
    continued to write. They had a son, Robert "Pen" Browning.

    The years in Florence were among the happiest for both of them. Her love
    for him was demonstrated in the Sonnets from the Portugese, and to her he
    dedicated Men and Women, which contains his best poetry.

    Public sympathy for him after her death (she was a much more popular poet
    during their lifetimes) surely helped the critical reception of his Collected
    Poems (1862) and Dramatis Personae (1863). The Ring and the Book (18689), based on an "old yellow book" which told of a Roman murder and trial,
    finally won him considerable popularity.

    He and Tennyson were now mentioned together as the foremost poets of the
    age.

    He died in 1889, on the same day that his final volume of verse, Asolando,
    was published. He is buried in Poet's Corner of Westminster Abbey.
