Robert Browning was long unsuccesful as a poet and financially dependent upon his family until he was well into adulthood. In his best works people from the past reveal their thoughts and lives as if speaking or thinking aloud. "Be sure I looked up her eyes Happy and proud; at last I knew Porphyria worshipped me; surprise Made my heart swell, and still it grew While I debated what to do. That moment she was mine, mine, fair, Perfectly pure and good; I found A thing to do, and all her hair In one long yellow string I wound Three times her little throat around, And strangled her. No pain felt she; I am quite sure she felt no pain." (from 'Porphyria's Lover' in Dramatic Lyrics Robert Browning was born in Camberwell, south London, as the son of Robert Browning, a wealthy clerk in the Bank of England, and Sarah Anna Wiedemann, of German-Scottish origin.

the website with the self-referential tagline... Robert "The Obscure" Browning Robert Browning was born 7 May 1812, first child and only son of Robert Browning and Sarah Wiedemann Browning. Robert was an impulsive, fearless little boy who was also rather a prodigy, writing poems and reading Homer at a very young age. He learned many languages and devoured his father's history books . He also liked to read books that were considered rather shocking and not quite suitable for children. Robert also had quite a habit of falling for older women, as his father had done. This first happened when Robert was barely in his teens and he apparently developed a crush on a woman named Eliza Flower , then in her early twenties. At 16, Robert began attending the newly-formed London University, established for those Nonconformists like Robert who were barred from Oxford and Cambridge. Robert attended for only just over a year, though thanks to his reading, he was really quite an educated man. He also was quite arrogant at times. By the time he was 20, he was convinced that he would be a great poet, if not THE great poet. His family had enough money to support him in these poetical endeavours, a good thing as he got off to a very rocky start. His first published work, Pauline , was considered not very good, but promising; his second

Il padre era un uomo di grande intelligenza ed allo stesso modo di buon carattere, impiegato ben retribuito della Banca di Inghilterra , tanto da riuscire ad accumulare in una biblioteca circa 6000 libri, molti dei quali poco noti ed arcani. Di conseguenza Robert ebbe un'infanzia ricca di risorse letterarie . Sua madre, alla quale egli era profondamente affezionato, era una fervente anticonformista , figlia di un armatore tedesco che si era stanziato a Dundee , e fu allo stesso tempo intellettualmente e moralmente degno del suo affetto. L'unico membro ulteriore della famiglia era una sorella pi¹ giovane, altrettanto dotata di gran talento, che fu la comprensiva compagna dei suoi ultimi anni. Essi vissero semplicemente, ma suo padre spinse gli interesti di Robert nel campo letterario ed artistico.
