On May 7, 1812 a man by the name of Robert Browning was born
to parents Robert and Sarah Anna Browning in Camberwell. Robert Browning was
the first born in his family and was extremely talented when it came to poetry.
Browning loved to read, by the age of fourteen he had already read through
fifty volumes of Biographie Universelle
as well as learned several different languages. In 1828 Browning attended
college at University of London, the first year the university opened but
shortly discontinued due to his inability to read at his own pace. Browning
tried several different writing styles once he discovered he enjoyed writing
and ended up being a master of dramatic monologue. In 1845 Browning’s married a
woman by the name of Elizabeth Barrett against her father’s wishes. The two of
them were as happy as can be and they both even published books sharing their
fondness of one another. The book Robert Browning published is known as Men and Women. Robert Browning published
several different poems throughout his lifetime but it wasn’t until the late
1960’s where his career really peaked. More and more people began reading
Browning’s poetry, which led to the development of the Browning Society in
1881. Sadly only eight years after creating Browning Society, Robert Browning
passed away on the same day of his release of Asolando. Robert Browning was
buried in Poet’s Corner of Westminister Abbey where he lies a talented poet
even to this day.
