About this book
Life of Robert Browning is by William Sharp, and a chapter summary says London was Robert Browning's birthplace and that he was born May 7th, 1812. The summary lists his father as a man of exceptional powers, artist, poet, critic, student, and mentions Mr. Browning's opinion of his son's writings. The text reports that Browning himself told Mr. Moncure Conway that the original name was De Bruni, and its author says he can find nothing to substantiate the common assertion that his people were Jews.
A passage has George Sand say, of one of her fictitious personages, that she was an artist to the backbone, that is, one who feels life with frightful intensity. The text says of a man loved as well as revered as a poet that his was the robustest poetic intellect of the century and his the serenest outlook. A list of volumes of works by Robert Browning includes Pippa Passes, and other Poetic Dramas.
