Robert Browning - Men and Women: "Such ever was love's way: to rise, it stoops"

Renowned for his dramatic monologues, Robert Browning's literary journey began with early recognition from notable figures like Rossetti and Wordsworth. His marriage to Elizabeth Barrett revitalized his creativity, leading to significant works produced during their time in Italy. Despite facing setbacks, including the challenging Sordello, Browning's later collections, such as Dramatis Personae and The Ring and the Book, solidified his status as a major Victorian poet. He passed away in Venice, leaving behind a lasting legacy in English poetry.
