He was an ardent lover who wooed the poet Elizabeth Barrett despite fierce opposition from her tyrannical father, while as a poet—inheriting the mantle of Wordsworth, Keats and Shelley—he sought to show, in the Romantic tradition, man’s struggle with his own nature and the will of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert Browning’s popular poems “The Pied Piper of Hamelin” and “How They Brought the Good News” are often anthologized, but it is in his dramatic lyrics such as “My Last Duchess” and the chilling “Porphyria’s Lover” that his poetic genius shines. Browning, with his unusual use of language, can be a challenging poet, but one who is always rewarding. This selection shows the many imaginative facets of this often neglected Victorian poet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents include the following poems:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow      They Brought the Good News from Ghent to Aix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife      in a Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA      Light Woman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe      Statue and the Bust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy      Last Duchess\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe      Confessional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA      Grammarian’s Funeral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe      Pied Piper of Hamelin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e‘You      should have heard the Hamelin people…’\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe      Lost Leader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoliloquy      of the Spanish Cloister\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe      Laboratory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePorphyria’s      Lover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvelyn      Hope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHome      Thoughts from Abroad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePippa’s      Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49388417188144,"sku":"BDbghu","price":9.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/277545-bghu-Square.jpg?v=1735219343","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-bghu","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
