O ovoj e-knjizi
Excerpt: "These selections from the poetry of Robert Browning have been made with especial reference to the tastes and capacities of readers of the high-school age. Every poem included has been found by experience to be within the grasp of boys and girls. Most of Browning's best poetry is within the ken of any reader of imagination and diligence. To the reader who lacks these, not only Browning, but the great world of literature, remains closed: Browning is not the only poet who requires close study. The difficulties he offers are, in his best poems, not more repellent to the thoughtful reader than the nut that protects and contains the kernel. To a boy or girl of active mind, the difficulty need rarely be more than a pleasant challenge to the exercise of a little patience and ingenuity."
O autoru
Robert Browning (1812-1889) was a towering figure in Victorian poetry, renowned for his innovative use of dramatic monologue and psychological depth. Born in Camberwell, London, Browning's early exposure to his father's extensive library ignited his literary passion. His marriage to fellow poet Elizabeth Barrett in 1846 was both a romantic and intellectual partnership, producing some of the most heartfelt and introspective poetry of the era.Browning's work often delved into the complexities of human nature, exploring themes of ambition, love, and morality. His dramatic monologues, such as "My Last Duchess" and "Porphyria's Lover," are celebrated for their intricate character studies and dark, often controversial, subject matter. These poems challenged Victorian norms and provided a stark contrast to the more genteel poetry of his contemporaries.Despite initial critical resistance, Browning's reputation soared in his later years, influencing a generation of writers, including T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound. His exploration of the human psyche and innovative narrative techniques prefigured modernist concerns, making him a precursor to 20th-century literary movements.Browning was also a fervent advocate for intellectual freedom and the power of art to transcend societal constraints. His works continue to resonate with modern readers for their bold exploration of the human condition and their fearless engagement with the darker aspects of life. His legacy endures as a testament to the enduring power of poetic innovation and emotional honesty.
