| Summary | "Robert Browning" by Edward Dowden is a biographical account written in the early 20th century.

It explores Browning's background, influences, and the development of his poetry, emphasizing the significance of his contributions to English literature. The opening of the biography introduces the concept of a "biography of the mind," highlighting the importance of understanding Browning's internal journey as a poet rather than simply chronicling his external experiences. It discusses the challenges of deciphering his complex thoughts and poems, reflecting on how his optimistic perspective offers a counter to the materialism of his time. The text outlines Browning's early life, his familial influences, his education, and the initial forays into poetry, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of his work and legacy in subsequent chapters.
