Robert Browning (1812-1889) is considered to be one of the foremost Victorian poets. This third volume focuses on the poetry written by Browning during his marriage to the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning. It starts with "The Guardian Angel", and ends with Browning's adaptation of an epigram by Walter Savage Landor.

Browning is best known for his development of the dramatic monologue, in which he recreated the world of Renaissance Italy. This work provides a thematic survey of Browning's often difficult work, using key poems as a common point of reference. Themes covered include styles, genres and the mind.
