Robert Browning - Dramatic Lyrics: "When the fight begins within himself, a man's worth something"

Mastering the dramatic monologue, Robert Browning emerged as a pivotal figure in Victorian poetry, with a diverse career that included verse plays and essays. Born in 1812, he was a self-taught scholar with a passion for languages and literature. His early works garnered attention, but the challenging Sordello threatened his career. A transformative marriage to Elizabeth Barrett revitalized his creativity, leading to significant works during their time in Italy. After her death, he continued to publish acclaimed poetry, securing his legacy before passing away in 1889.
