Robert Browning
Biographie de l'artiste pour Robert Browning
Robert Browning Was Born In Camberwell England On May 7 1812 The First Son Of Robert And Sarah Wiedemann Browning. His Father Was A Man Of Fine Intellect And Equally Fine Character Who Worked As A Well-Paid Clerk In The Bank Of England And So Managed To Amass A Library Of Around 6 000 Books — Many Of Them Highly Obscure And Arcane. Thus Robert Was Raised In A Household With Good Literary Resources. His Mother To Whom He Was Ardently Attached Was A Devout Nonconformist The Daughter Of A German Shipowner Who Had Settled In Dundee And Was Alike Intellectually And Morally Worthy Of His Affection. The Only Other Member Of The Family Was A Younger Sister Also Highly Gifted Who Was The Sympathetic Companion Of His Later Years. They Lived Simply But His Father Encouraged Robert's Interest In Literature And The Arts. In His Childhood He Was Distinguished By His Love Of Poetry And Natural History. At Twelve He Had Written A Book Of Poetry Which He Destroyed When He Could Not Find A Publisher. After Being At One Or Two Private Schools And Showing An Insuperable Dislike To School Life He Was Educated By A Tutor. He Was A Rapid Learner And By The Age Of Fourteen Was Fluent In French Greek Italian And Latin As Well As His Native English. He Became A Great Admirer Of The Romantic Poets Especially Shelley. In Imitation Of The Latter He Briefly Became An Atheist And A Vegetarian But In Later Life He Looked Back On This As A Passing Phase. At Age Sixteen He Attended University College London But Dropped Out After His First Year. Through His Mother He Inherited Some Musical Talent And Composed Settings For Various Songs. His Grandmother Was Also Of Creole Blood. Thomas Chase Wrote Of Browning's Skin Complexion As Dark And His Hair As Curly. The Same Went For His Jamaican English Born Wife Elizabeth Barrett. Edit Early Career Robert BrowningIn May 1833 Browning's Pauline A Fragment Of A Confession Was Published Anonymously By Saunders And Otley In Many Ways A Vanity Publication Financed By His Family And This Marked The Beginning Of His Career As A Poet. A Lengthy Confessional Poem It Was Intended By Its Young Author To Be Merely One Of A Series Of Works Produced By Various Fictitious Versions Of Himself The Poet The Composer Etc. But Browning Abandoned The Larger Project. He Was Much Embarrassed By Pauline In Later Life Contributing A Somewhat Contrite Preface To The 1868 Edition Of His Collected Poems Asking For His Readers' Indulgence When Reading What In His Eyes Was Practically A Piece Of Juvenilia Before Undertaking Extensive Revisions To The Poem In Time For The 1888 Edition With The Remark "twenty Years' Endurance Of An Eyesore Seems Long Enough". In 1834 He Paid His First Visit To Italy In Which So Much Of His Future Life Was To Be Passed. In 1835 Browning Wrote The Lengthy Dramatic Poem Paracelsus Essentially A Series Of Monologues Spoken By The Swiss Doctor And Alchemist Paracelsus And His Friends. Published Under Browning's Own Name In An Edition Financed By His Father The Poem Was A Small Commercial And Critical Success And Gained The Notice Of Carlyle Wordsworth And Other Men Of Letters Giving Him A Reputation As A Poet Of Distinguished Promise. Around This Time The Young Poet Was Very Much In Demand In Literary Circles For His Ready Wit And Flamboyant Sense Of Style And He Embarked Upon Two Ill-Considered Ventures A Series Of Plays For The Theatre All Of Which Were Dismally Unsuccessful And None Of Which Are Much Remembered Today And Sordello A Very Lengthy Poem In Rhymed Pentameter And Loosely Drawing Upon A Historical Character Who Also Briefly Appears In Dante's Divine Comedy. Set Against The Backdrop Of The Conflict Between The Guelphs And Ghibellines Sordello Was Already Difficult To Understand For A Victorian Audience That Was Accustomed To The Annotation In Historical Fiction. Browning's Syntax Style And - Perhaps Most Of All - His Plot Made An Already Confusing Subject Virtually Incomprehensible And The Young Poet Became The Butt Of A Number Of Satirical Quips Such As Mrs. Carlyle's Celebrated Comment That She Had Read The Entire Thing Through Without Being Able To Work Out Whether Sordello Was A Man A City Or A Book. The Effect On Browning's Career Was Catastrophic And He Would Not Recover His Good Public Standing — And The Good Sales That Accompanied It — Until The Publication Of The Ring And The Book Nearly Thirty Years Later. Throughout The Early 1840s He Continued To Publish Volumes Of Plays And Shorter Poems Under The General Series Title Bells And Pomegranates. Although The Plays With The Exception Of Pippa Passes — In Many Ways More Of A Dramatic Poem Than An Actual Play — Are Almost Entirely Forgotten The Volumes Of Poetry Dramatic Lyrics First Published In 1842 And 1845's Dramatic Romances And Lyrics Are Often Considered To Be Among The Poet's Best Work Containing Many Of His Most Well-Known Poems. Though Much Admired Now The Volumes Were Largely Ignored At The Time In The Wake Of The Sordello Debacle. Edit Marriage And Major Monologues
Robert Browning Married Elizabeth Barrett In 1846 After A Courtship That Lasted Two Years And Gave Rise To One Of The Most Celebrated Epistolary Correspondences In Literary History. Secretly Married At Marylebone The Pair Left England And Eventually Took Up Residence In Florence Italy Where They Lived What Is Generally Considered To Have Been A Very Happy Married Life Until Elizabeth's Death In 1861. They Had One Son Pen. During This Period Elizabeth Published Several Major Works Most Notably Casa Guidi Windows A Long Poem And Aurora Leigh A Verse Novel. Robert Browning Published A Volume Of Theological Poetry - Christmas-Eve And Easter-Day - And Wrote The Two Volumes On Which His Reputation Was Principally To Rest During The Twentieth Century Men And Women 1859 And Dramatis Personae 1864 . In These Collections Browning Included Many Of The Finest Examples Of The Dramatic Monologue A Form Of Poety Of Which He And Tennyson Were The Principal Pioneers And That Was To Exert A Significant Influence Upon Such Later Poets As T.S. Eliot And Ezra Pound. Amongst The Canonical Examples Of This Form Are Such Among Browning's Monologues Of This Period As "Andrea Del Sarto" "Fra Lippo Lippi" "Bishop Blougram's Apology" "A Death In The Desert" "Caliban Upon Setebos" And "Mr. Sludge "The Medium"". Although The Period Of His Marriage Was Not A Prolific One Compared With Browning's Youth Or Later Life It Saw A Steady Rise In His Reputation And Produced Some Of His Most Enduring Works. Edit Late Success
In 1868 Browning Finally Completed And Published The Long Blank-Verse Poem The Ring And The Book Which Would Finally Make Him Rich Famous And Successful And Which Ensured His Critical Reputation Among The First Rank Of English Poets. Based On A Convoluted Murder Case From 1690s Rome The Poem Is Composed Of Twelve Volumes Essentially Comprising Ten Lengthy Dramatic Poems Narrated By The Various Characters In The Story Showing Their Individual Take On Events As They Transpire Bookended By An Introduction And Conclusion By Browning Himself. Extraordinarily Long Even By Browning's Own Standards Over Twenty Thousand Lines The Ring And The Book Was The Poet's Most Ambitious Project And Has Been Hailed As A Tour De Force Of Dramatic Poetry. Published Separately In Four Volumes From November 1868 Through To February 1869 The Poem Was A Huge Success Both Commercially And Critically And Finally Brought Browning The Renown He Had Sought And Deserved For Nearly Thirty Years Of Work. 1882 Caricature From PunchWith His Fame And Fortune Secure Browning Again Became The Prolific Writer He Had Been At The Start Of His Career. In The Remaining Twenty Years Of His Life As Well As Travelling Extensively And Frequenting London Literary Society Again He Managed To Publish No Less Than Fifteen New Volumes. None Of These Later Works Gained The Popularity Of The Ring And The Book And They Are Largely Unread Today. However Browning's Later Work Has Been Undergoing A Major Critical Re-Evaluation In Recent Years And Much Of It Remains Of Interest For Its Poetic Quality And Psychological Insight. After A Series Of Long Poems Published In The Early 1870s Of Which Fifine At The Fair And Red Cotton Night-Cap Country Were The Best-Received Browning Again Turned To Shorter Poems. The Volume Pacchiarotto And How He Worked In Distemper Included A Spiteful Attack Against Browning's Critics Especially The Later Poet Laureate Alfred Austin. In 1887 Browning Produced The Major Work Of His Later Years Parleyings With Certain People Of Importance In Their Day. It Finally Presented The Poet Speaking In His Own Voice Engaging In A Series Of Dialogues With Long-Forgotten Figures Of Literary Artistic And Philosophic History. Once More The Victorian Public Was Baffled By This And Browning Returned To The Short Concise Lyric For His Last Volume Asolando 1889 . According To Some Reports Browning Became Romantically Involved With Lady Ashburton In The 1870s But Did Not Re-Marry. In 1878 He Returned To Italy For The First Time Since Elizabeth's Death And Returned There On Several Occasions. He Died At His Son's Home Ca' Rezzonico In Venice On 12 December 1889 The Same Day Asolando Was Published And Was Buried In Poets' Corner In Westminster Abbey His Grave Now Lies Immediately Adjacent To That Of Alfred Tennyson.
