Dramatic Romances

By Robert Browning

With introduction and notes by Charlotte Porter and Helen A. Clarke

Narrated by Denis Daly

The dramatic romance was a poetic form particularly favored by Robert Browning. This collection of 25 poems includes many of the poet's most celebrated efforts in this genre.

Each of these poems is essentially a monologue or imagined conversation by a character recalling a life-changing event. The particular occurrence may be related to war (Incident of the French Camp), love (The Last Ride Together), murder (Porphyria's Lover), or even a humorous fable (The Pied Piper of Hamelin.)

In each case the narrative is delivered in Browning's characteristically bumpy versification, leading to the delineation of powerfully evocative pictures and the creation of some of the most memorable lines in English poetry.
