Robert Browning as a Love – Poet
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
Browning initiated composing love-poetry early in his career and continued to write it till his death. In „A Pearl‟ and „By The fireside,‟ the poet expresses strong, earthly and sensuous love as well as spiritual love of the woman opening the infinite world of love for the lover. Browning does not write about obstacles or about ideals and generalizations, he deals with window-panes and gloves and garden walls - objects and places associated with the beloved or with a moment of love. Browning‟s love poems do not deal with love of truth or love of mankind or of one‟s motherland. His love is purely a passion which draws a man to a woman or woman to a man. Browning, in his love poems, does not describe the beauty of woman. There is a little bit of physical charm of a woman. He concentrates on the power which a woman can exert in her relationship with a man. So love is not an end in itself. It is a means towards the attainment of heavenly bliss. Browning has the unique distinction of being the only English poet who has dealt with love in all its multitudinous complexities; very wide is the variety of love situations taken up by the poet. Browning does not hesitate to describe love which convention disliked. He is also a poet of abnormal lovers and their love. Browning whole life achievement rests on his love which served him as a stepping stone to success and which ultimately became a mile-stone of his success in both the fields personal or literary. Browning‟s love-poems deal with the various phases and varieties of love in all classes of society. The present paper attempts to analyze love theme in Browning‟s poetry. It also throws light on his treatment of physical and spiritual love, his realism, the power of love, love situations and abnormal unconventional love.
