    About this ebook

    For Christians Easter is a special festival of events which recognises and honours the crucifixation and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In recent times much of it has been submerged beneath consumerism and Easer Eggs. For the faithful it is a time to practice and worship over several weeks in devotion to the Church. Our collection, though centered on our poets writings and musings on Easter as a religious festival, also take in such powerful works as events that happened at Easter such as WB Yeats forceful telling of the Easter Rising in Easter 1916. Poetry is a great source of putting feelings and thoughts into beautiful patterns of words that carry and deliver so much. Here Gerald Manley Hopkins, Robert Browning, John Keble, Edmund Spenser and George Herbert are but several who bring you the works in this volume to such great and passioned effect.

    Robert Browning

    Robert Browning (1812-1889) was an English poet and playwright. Browning was born in London to an abolitionist family with extensive literary and musical interests. He developed a skill for poetry as a teenager, while also learning French, Greek, Latin, and Italian. Browning found early success with the publication of Pauline (1833) and Paracelsus (1835), but his career and notoriety lapsed over the next two decades, resurfacing with his collection Men and Women (1855) and reaching its height with the 1869 publication of his epic poem The Ring and the Book. Browning married the Romantic poet Elizabeth Barrett in 1846 and lived with her in Italy until her death in 1861. In his remaining years, with his reputation established and the best of his work behind him, Browning compiled and published his wife’s final poems, wrote a series of moderately acclaimed long poems, and traveled across Europe. Browning is remembered as a master of the dramatic monologue and a defining figure in Victorian English poetry.
