Robert Browning-A Portrait by Betty Miller
“The longer I live, the more does Browning’s character seem the literary puzzle of the 19th century” wrote Thomas Hardy. This biography is a very remarkable attempt to investigate that puzzle, to relate the poet to his poetry, the poet to his life. A damp bloom of sentiment, the high glaze of tradition, have for many years combined to obscured from view some of the essential colours in the standard portrait of this singular Victorian personality. This vivid and most surprising process of cleaning and restoring has brought to light many details and nuances hitherto obscured.
