about

A selection of Robert Browning's dramatic monologues.

In "My Last Duchess," an entitled nobleman shows off a portrait of his late wife.

In "Soliloquy of the Spanish Cloister," a frustrated monk dwells on a petty rivalry.

In "The Bishop Orders His Tomb at Saint Praxed's," a dying man instructs his family in how to elevate his final resting place above that of his rival's.

In "Porphyria's Lover," a sinister narrator considers how to preserve the pure beauty of his trusting partner.

"Bishop Blougram's Apology" is a lengthy reflection on faith, doubt, and the pursuit of contentment.
