POETIC BIRTHDAY

ROBERT BROWNING was born on May 7, 1812 in Camberwell, England. He died in 1889. Browning was a major figure in the history of English poetry. He decided as a child that he wanted to be a poet and he never seriously attempted any other profession.

He developed poetic technique through the use of "dramatic monologues," in his writings, especially his use of diction, rhythm, and symbol. These elements are regarded as his most important contribution to poetry.
