Robert Browning - Pacchiarotto with Other Poems: "It is the glory and good of Art That Art remains the one way possible of speaking truth"

Renowned for his dramatic monologues, Robert Browning's literary journey began with early acclaim but faced challenges, notably with the obscure Sordello. His relationship with Elizabeth Barrett, whom he married, revitalized his creativity, leading to significant works during their time in Italy. After her death, he continued to produce influential poetry, including the acclaimed Dramatis Personae and The Ring and the Book, solidifying his status as a major Victorian poet. Browning passed away in Venice in 1889, leaving behind a lasting legacy in English literature.
