Robert Browning - King Victor and King Charles: "Truth is within ourselves"

Renowned for his mastery of the dramatic monologue, Robert Browning's literary journey reflects both personal and professional triumphs. Born in 1812, he received a diverse home education, which fueled his eclectic interests. Early successes led to challenges, particularly with the obscure Sordello. However, his marriage to Elizabeth Barrett revitalized his creativity, resulting in significant works during their time in Italy. Following her death, he produced acclaimed collections like Dramatis Personae and the epic The Ring and the Book, solidifying his legacy before his passing in 1889.
