Robert Browning (1812-1889) was not a love poet as such. For the most part, he wrote historical and narrative poems and various experimental poetry in the form of dramatic monologues. His
romantic courtship and secret marriage to Elizabeth Barrett Browning
made him a celebrated figure of romantic love poetry however. His poem, O lyric love, was written after her death. It
was used as a dedication for a 20,000 line epic historic poem, The Ring and the Book, which told the story of a murder
trial that had taken place in Rome in 1698.
