O ovoj e-knjizi
Browning's Men and Women consists of fifty-one poems, all of which are monologues spoken by different narrators, some identified and some not; the first fifty take in a very diverse range of historical, religious or European situations, with the fifty-first – "One Word More" – featuring Browning himself as narrator and dedicated to his wife. The title of the collection came from a line in her Sonnets from the Portuguese. Browning himself was very fond of the collection, referring to the poems as "My fifty men and women" (from the opening line in One Word More), and today, Men and Women has been described as one of Victorian England's most significant books.
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.
