    About this ebook

    In this absorbing biography of Robert Browning, one of the most important Victorian poets, Chesterton examines the poet from his early life to his early poems. He places an emphasis on how Browning’s life informed and influenced his work. Revealing and readable, it is also a prime example of Chesterton’s singular approach to biography and literary criticism.
