About this audiobook
This edition includes the following editor's introduction: G. K. Chesterton, the man beyond the writer
First published in 1903, “Robert Browning” is a multi-faceted biography and critique of Browning‘s work by English writer G. K. Chesterton.
In “Robert Browning”, Chesterton takes us from his early life to his early poems and shows us how his life impacted on his work to produce a biography of great depth and sensitivity. The book gives the reader a closer look at Robert Browning’s life along with a detailed analysis of some of his work through the thoughtful and highly biased eye of the author.
Chesterton declares that it is fashionable to boast that one cannot understand Browning but he reveals in this fascinating literary biography how Browning ‘combines the greatest brain with the simplest temperament’.
“Robert Browning” is a marvellous book that does justice to Robert Browning's huge personality and startlingly modern approach to storytelling, poetry, and epistemology.
