G. K. Chesterton 
Robert Browning 

Chesterton declares that it is fashionable to boast that one cannot understand Browning but he reveals in this fascinating literary biography how Browning ‚combines the greatest brain with the simplest temperament‘. This is a multi-faceted biography and critique of Browning’s work. Chesterton takes us from his early life to his early poems and shows us how his life impacted on his work to produce a biography of great depth and sensitivity. (Goodreads)
