| Summary | "Robert Browning: How to Know Him" by William Lyon Phelps is a literary examination written in the early 20th century. The text serves as both a biography and an analysis of the renowned Victorian poet Robert Browning, exploring his life, character, poetic theory, and notable works through detailed interpretations. This work aims to unravel Browning's complexity as a poet and the themes present within his poetry. The opening of the book introduces Robert Browning's background, emphasizing the fortunate circumstances of his upbringing that allowed him to pursue a life devoted to poetry. Phelps discusses Browning's parents, highlighting their influence on his literary pursuits and character development. The author reflects on Browning's education, which was largely self-directed and encouraged by freedom from conventional schooling, leading to his profound understanding of various subjects. This foundation, coupled with his experiences and personal relationships—such as his passionate love for Elizabeth Barrett Browning—is set up as essential elements that shaped his unique voice and vision as a poet. The biographical context establishes the tone for Phelps’ deeper explorations of Browning's works and themes, making it clear that understanding the man is integral to appreciating the artist.
