1 | Robert Browning's Dramatic Monologues: A | Robert Browning |
A selection of Robert Browning's dramatic monologues. In "My Last Duchess," an entitled nobleman shows off a portrait of his late wife. In "Soliloquy of the Spanish Cloister," a frustrated monk dwells on a petty rivalry. In "The Bishop Orders His Tomb at Saint Praxed's," a dying man instructs his family in how to elevate his final resting place above that of his rival's. In "Porphyria's Lover," a sinister narrator considers how to preserve the pure beauty of his trusting partner. "Bishop Blougram's Apology" is a lengthy reflection on faith, doubt, and the pursuit of contentment. |
