Robert Browning was the son of well to do official of the Bank of England. After the age of 14, he had little formal education but educated himself privately with the help and encouragement of his father, a highly cultivated man with an excellent library. Thanks to his father's generosity, Browning was able to devote his life to literature. His early long poems, Pauline (1833), Paracelsus (1835), and Sordello (1840), attracted much attention because of their originality and forcefulness, but their terse and vigorous style sometimes degenerated into an awkwardness and obscurity that repelled his less intellectual and preserving readers.
In 1846, Browning made his famous runaway marriage with the poetess, Elizabeth Barrett, rescuing her from her well meaning but despotic father who had confined her to her home for years on the excuse that she was an invalid. For the sake of her health they went to live in Italy, a country they loved and in which many of Browning's finest poems are set.
His wife died in 1861 and Browning returned to England to look after the education of their son, an only child. His reputation grew steadily until he, was generally regarded as one of the two great English poets of the age. At his death this eminence was confirmed by his burial in West Minster Abbey.
