BROWNING, Elizabeth Barrett (Moulton-Barrett), the most inspired of womanpoets, b. Coxoe Hall, Durham, 6 March, 1806; d. Florence, Italy, 29 June, 1861. The record of her birth is now substantiated, it having been given, until recently, as "at Hope End, Ledbury, 1809.' She was, therefore, six years older than her husband, and in her forty-third year when Robert Barrett Browning, their only child, was born. Her youth was passed in Ledbury, at the home of her father, a rich Jamaican, Mr. Moulton, who had added the name

of Barrett to his own. In childhood, her precocity and love of study were marvellous. She wrote verse, delighted in the classics, and, as she grew older, learned Hebrew and Italian. She read Greek poetry and philosophy in the original texts, and even the Greek Christian Fathers, often in company with Hugh Stuart Boyd, as exquisitely related in "Wine of Cyprus. ." Published anonymously her first book of verse, "An Essay on Mind," 1827. Her translation of the Prometheus Bound" appeared, with poems of her own, 1833. In 1837 she ruptured a blood-vessel, and thenceforth was always fragile, - confined for years at a time to her room, where she pursued her work and studies, and, until after her marriage, saw only her near and devoted friends. Meantime her reputation increased with "The Seraphim," 1838; The Romaunt of the Page," 1839; and

A Drama of Exile," 1844; and in the lastnamed year she brought out the first collective edition of her poems. John Kenyon made her acquainted, 1845, with Robert Browning, who was gratified by an allusion to himself in "Lady Geraldine's Courtship." The poets fell in love, but Mr. Barrett absolutely forbade his daughter to contract marriage. Disregarding his mandate, she wedded Browning, 12 Sept., 1846, and went with him to Italy, never again seeing her father, and being relentlessly unforgiven by him to the end. After her marriage her poetry increased in beauty and power; she wrote her most sustained works and noblest lyrics, and her fame, despite her technical shortcomings, became world-wide. America loved her, and was loved by her in turn. A poet of humanity, freedom, and enthusiasm, she sang spontaneously, and from a glowing heart. Her masterpiece of art and feeling is the "Sonnets from the Portuguese," 1850, -inspired by her love and marriage, and unequalled by any English sonnet-series except Shakespeare's own. "Casa Guidi Windows," 1851, is her chief tribute to the Italian cause; "Aurora Leigh," her longest work, a highly subjective romantic tale, embodying her humane and liberal views, appeared in 1856; and Poems before Congress" in 1860. Her "Last Poems were edited by her husband the year after her death. Her only prose relics are her letters, and the Essays on the Greek-Christian and English Poets, contributed to the " Athenæum," 1842. Her remains lie in the English burying-ground at Florence.Cp. R. H. Horne, J. Kenyon, and "Victorian Poets," chap. iv. [E. C. s.]

BROWNING, Robert, the poet of dramatic psychology, and in years, genius, and fame the Laureate's only peer, b. Camberwell, near London, 7 May, 1812; d. Venice, Dec. 12, 1889. On his father's side he was of somewhat humble English stock, and inherited West Indian creole blood from his paternal grandmother. On his mother's side he was Scottish and German. His father's means were limited, but young Browning attended lectures at the University of London, and was afterward enabled to travel on the Continent. From the first he

66

66

showed originality, and was little affected by current modes of art and thought. His earliest book was the fragmentary Pauline," 1833, afterward suppressed, but latterly included in the "complete editions." This was followed by "Paracelsus," 1835, which secured for the poet a small set of firm adherents. Strafford," his first acting drama, was played by Macready at Covent Garden, 1837. The enig matical Sordello," 1840, made it plain that he was no candidate for immediate popularity, but took his appeal to the intellectual few. From 1841 to 1846, however, many of his most beautiful and dramatic lyrics and idyls came out in the eight parts of "Bells and Pomegranates;" which embraced, also, the great series of earlier dramas: "Pippa Passes," 1840 ; "King Victor and King Charles," 1842; "The Return of the Druses," 1843; "A Blot in the 'Scutcheon," 1843; Colombe's Birthday," 1844; "Luria," 1846; and " A Soul's Tragedy,' 1846. These intensely wrought and penetrating studies of human life, thought, and circumstance, fervid with color, and saturated with learning, came from the brain of one who could be as melodious or as rugged as he chose, and at will impassioned or analytic. They impressed careful readers with his greatness; but he failed to reach the common people, or gain the fame then won by Tennyson, until the afternoon of his vigorous life. Meantime he wrote ceaselessly; his marriage with Miss Barrett, of itself, with their life in Rome, invested him with interest, and finally such works as Men and Women," 1855, Dramatis Personæ," 1864, "The Ring and the Book," 1868-69, were as eagerly welcomed by the English-reading world as by those who so long had recognized his gifts. After his marriage (related in the preceding notice), the thoroughly ideal life of "the wedded poets" was something that has become historic, no other union of two poets so individually great having ever occurred. When Mrs. Browning died, Browning left Florence, and resided chiefly in London for many years. Among his volumes hitherto unmentioned are "Balaustion's Adventure," 1871; 'Fifine at the Fair," 1872; "Red Cotton Night-Cap Country, 1873; Aristophanes' Apology,' 1875; "The Inn Album," 1875; "La Saisiaz," 1878; "Dramatic Idyls," 1879, 1880; Jocoseria,' 1883; Ferishtah's Fancies," 1884; "Parleyings," etc., 1887; and the small collection of his last lyrics, "Asolando," 1889. Browning, after all this prodigal work, and a hale and optimistic old age, died serenely, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. For years before his death his name had been as splendid as it was formerly obscure. The original Browning Club was founded in 1881, for the study and exposition of his works. His extreme votaries rank him with Shakespeare, praise him for his more involved and prosaic labors, and look askance at other modern poets, -Tennyson not excepted. But these are they who care less for absolute poetry than for metaphysics. Of late a finer discrimination is exercised, and the poet's

66

highest qualities are more clearly compre hended, even by the Browning societies. His truest lover is one who takes him at his best, as an affluent artist, and the most profound modern revealer of the human soul, without over-valuing his excess of analysis and didacticism. Cp. Victorian Poets," chaps. ix, xii. [E. C. s.]

BUCHANAN, Robert, dramatist and novelist, b. Glasgow, 1841. Educated at the University of Glasgow, where he met the poet David Gray, with whom he afterwards occupied lodg ings in London.
