This book delves into the literary genius of Robert Browning, the renowned Victorian poet and playwright famous for his dramatic monologues. Although his early works 'Pauline' and 'Paracelsus' were highly praised, his reputation suffered after 'Sordello' was considered too cryptic. However, he reinvented himself with a more personal style, which he showcased in his collection 'Men and Women'. Browning's marriage to fellow poet Elizabeth Barrett and his move to Italy also had a profound effect on his work. This book offers a comprehensive study of Browning's life and works, examining his ironic tone, unique characterization, historical settings, and use of languages.

Cora makes a dazzling impression, but the English aristocracy is a realm fraught with arcane rules and pitfalls, and there are those less than eager to welcome a wealthy outsider...
