Robert Browning – Death in Venice, Born in London

from London Walks · host London Walks

A vivid, fast moving, cinematic look at Robert Browning on the anniversary of his 1889 Death in Venice. A London-born poet who reinvented the dramatic monologue, eloped with Elizabeth Barrett in a Marylebone romance worthy of a thriller and returned in triumph to Maida Vale and ultimately to Poets’ Corner. Lots of juicy Victorian detail, great lines, and the irresistible contrast of a life shaped in London and a final act written on the Grand Canal.
