- Prophyria 's Lover
- A Toccata of Galuppi' s
- Two in the campagna
- Andrea del sarto
- Home - Thoughts, from Abroad
- Fra Lippo Lippi
- My last Duchess
- Soliloquy of the spanish
- Browning 's plays :
He wrote several plays but all his plays are without moments of drama, and all his plays, shown considerable spirit in their style his plays like.
- A Blot on the' scutcheon - 1843
- The Return of the Druses - 1843
- Pippa passes - 1841
- Bells and pomegranantes - 1846
- Colombe's Birthday - 1844
- King victor and king charles - 1842
But some of his plays contain fine songs. But Browning lacks the fundamental qualities of the dramatist. His amazing subtle analysis of character and motive is not sufficient for true and real drama because he cannot reveal character in action.
Comparison between tennyson and Robert browning
Tennyson and Browning are the two literary titans of the victorian age who towered over all other poets of the period for about help a contury. Victorianisam differs from Romanticism in dramatic ways. For instance, Romanticism presented on idealized view of nature and of the joys of simple rural living. For victorian, nature became a cold hard reality Tennyson even refers to nature's bloodied claws. However as poets they have very little in common. While Tennyson was completely a representative of his age who glorified the greatness of England, it's democracy and freedom and dreamed of ' The world', Browning kept apart from all the political and religious turmoil of the age if such things as Reform Bills, Catholic Emancipation, the crimean war,The Indian mutiny that never been.
These two poets are, as can be seen, very different in theri approach to the idea of the narrative. Tennyson present beautiful scences, indeed he cannot help but do so even when the subject matter is supposed to be dull, and he offers many images which can be plucked from the poems and kept like little Jewels on their own. Browning 's poems are less lovely by more lively and his focus is far less on conveying the inner life of his characters.
Both the poets apply new technique and styles in poetry writing. But both these poets adopt their own style in their writing. Browning focuses on the psyche of his frantic characters and tries to look into deep inside of such characters in his writing. Browning tries to understand human nature, religion, and society properly. Their poetic concerns are hardly related, Browning systematic cally deoictd the essence of a character whereas Tennyson gives importance in inducing and endorsing a particular mood.
We can say that victorian period is also a promoted through the English development and it's connect their roots with Renaissance time for a full half century Tennyson was the voice of England, loved and as a mab and a poet, not smol by a few discerning critics, but by a whole people that do not easily give their allegiance to anyone man.
