Abstract
This paper reviews how the poem 'Soliloquy of the Spanish Cloister' by Robert Browning utilizes a dramatic monologue that provides aesthetic detail and moral values. In many ways, this poem echoes the other poetical works of Browning, by providing a moral insight into the sometimes hypocritical nature of organized religion. By realizing these facets of his poetry, Browning's dramatic monologue offers character narratives that are morally based within a Christian milieu.
From the Paper
"This literary study will analyze morality within the dramatic monologue of Robert Browning's "Soliloquy of the Spanish Cloister." The morality of the monk that is narrating in this poem reflects the often hypocritical clerical view of Christianity. Browning shows a propensity for this form aesthetics in portraying a character that is morally declaratory, but lives an immoral lifestyle. This aspect of the poem is a common thread in Browning's dramatic dialogue, since it relies on morality and character details to reflect the hypocrisy of religious values."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Robert Browning's peerless reputation among Victorian poets is linked primarily to four volumes of poetry he published over a period of twenty years during the mid-19th century. The author points out that Browning's most famous poetic form of choice is the dramatic monologue, which is a poem that is written in the voice of another person, as exemplified in poems such as "My Last Duchess" . The paper relates that Browning's poems are portraits of individuals, rather than searching self-explorations; however, these portraits tackle critical issues, which concerned the poet, such as political corruption, religious intolerance and outmoded conceptions about women.
From the Paper
"Interestingly enough, although "the central problem in Browning's love poetry is invariably one of communication between the sexes", Browning's own marriage to a fellow poet was quite happy. He married the (at the time) more famous Elizabeth Barrett Browning, after admiring her poetry, and encouraging her to elope from what was an oppressive relationship with a domineering father. The two of them escaped to Italy, making the words of one of Browning's few lyrics, "Home," written in the voice of an evident expatriate, ironic and poignant."

Abstract
This paper explains that Christ-like human beings are instruments for the arts in the poetry of Robert Browning. The author points out that, by addressing how Browning created "Pippa Passes", the reader can learn how his poetic style of monologue matured in Ira Lippo Lippi's style and religious ideology. The paper states that Browning was an extremely dedicated follower of the Christian faith, which resides clearly in how human beings are used instruments for his own poetic vision.
From the Paper
"The drama of "Pippa Passes" reflects the way that God is a messenger of the arts within the poetic style that Robert Browning applies in his verse. In this manner, Browning has a supreme faith in the Christian God to guide Pippa by this seemingly invisible hand to influence artists in a positive manner."

Abstract
This paper explains that Robert Browning's poems "My Last Duchess" and "The Bishop Ordering His Tomb at Saint Praxed's Church", both dramatic monologues that take in the 16th century, portray a large discrepancy between the outer images and the inner character. The author points out that Browning, who was interested in how people lived during the Renaissance, supposedly a period of great artistic and spiritual enlightenment saw that people in the 16th century were just as greedy, egotistical and materialistic as people in the 19th century. The paper reveals that, the dark truth behind both the paintings is, that regardless of their station in life or how good, kind or saintly they portray themselves, a beautiful object may conceal an ugly truth.
Long quotes.
From the Paper
"In the first poem, My Last Duchess it is believed that Robert Browning based the Duke on a real person who was accused of killing his wife. According to critical experts, My Last Duchess" is Browning's extraordinary portrait of a Renaissance murderer who would have been astonished had anyone called his conduct criminal. In actuality, the person speaking in this poem is the Duke of Ferrara (b. 1533), who, following the death of his first wife, is now seeking the hand of the niece of the Count of Tyrol. The Duke asks his visitor to stop and look at this perfect picture of his Last Duchess, but although the picture is perfect, the Duke really believes that his Last Duchess was a less than perfect wife."

Abstract
This paper explains that Robert Browning, one of the most prevalent poets of the Victorian period that was characterized by the search for self-definition, mastered the art of the dramatic monologue and used that style of poetry to convey themes to his readers through the personalities about whom he wrote. The author points out that, in the poem "Abt Vogler", Browning expressed the way the short-lived, imperfect art of music acts as a symbol for man's life--flawed and always seeking resolution. The paper relates that the opening stanza introduced the protagonist Vogler, who was contemplating whether his newly improved organ will be a structure that will be able to brave the varieties of music that he will "build".
From the Paper
"As the poem resolves toward the end, Browning uses his poem to express the importance for man to reach to his full potential. This idea, as also expressed in Browning's "Andrea del Sarto", is the main initiative in "Abt Vogler". As man does when he struggles to grasp his full potential, Vogler asks, "Therefore to whom turn I but to thee, the ineffable Name?" Thinking that he may never be able to play such music ever again, Vogler's faith in music suddenly returns when he prays to God. He says, "There shall never be one lost good! What was, shall live as / before...""

Robert Browning's Poem "My Last Duchess", 2005.
This paper explores the theme of people inadvertently revealing hidden truths about themselves while talking about things seemingly trivial in Robert Browning's poem "My Last Duchess".

Abstract
This paper explains that Robert Browning's poem "My Last Duchess"
is a dramatic monologue spoken by the Duke of Ferrara. The author points out that, given the title, the poem appears to be about the late wife of the Duke, whose portrait is being shown to a visitor, as the Duke negotiates for his next Duchess; however, the Duke reveals much more about himself and his role as a husband than he does about his late wife. The paper relates that "My Last Duchess", typical of this type of poetry, overtly is about a painting but the covert meaning is confessional. The author underscores that, in the lack of distinction between the portrait and the woman, the Duke reveals his feelings, that women are the possessions of men and are only good for their beauty.
From the Paper
"The speaker makes a shift in the poem and goes from discussing the qualities of the painting itself, to making jealous hypotheses about why the woman in the painting is blushing. He also says to his listener "not the first / are you to turn and ask thus" (12-13), but the listener did not ask. This implies that the Duke has been suppressing this jealous rant and has been waiting for an opportunity to let the beast out for a high-spirited run. The fact that he says the listener is not the first to ask is probably more likely to mean that the listener is not the first person the Duke has revealed this to."

Abstract
The paper gives a brief history of the two poems and then analyzes the poems by focusing on the motifs of insanity, sexuality, death and perceptions embodied in the actions and internal speech of the narrators.
From the Paper
"Browning?s ?Porphyria?s Lover,? ?the first dramatic monologue by a major Victorian to see public light,? was ?originally published in the Monthly Repository for January, 1836.... As the title Browning adopted for them in 1842 suggests??Madhouse Cells??both texts feature speakers in extremis? (Tucker 123). Browning?s madness theme is first scene in the title ?Porphyria?s Lover,? ?for it is Porphyria herself who sexually dominates her romance with the poem?s speaker? (Winchell 58). In fact, the poem continues the speaker?s ?extreme? state of mind from the ironic title to its opening lines through the presented weather imagery. The male speaker sullenly waits on his strong-willed female lover to appear and notices that ?the rain set early in to-night, / The sullen wind was soon awake, / It tore the elm-tops down for spite, And did its worst to vex the lake? (Browning 1-4). As the male speaker is forced into a feminized role by waiting for his lover, his insanity takes the form of stormy weather. The speaker?s objectification of moods onto weather provides an inkling of the poem?s resulting actions. The ?sullen? wind ?awakens,? tearing down phallic elms for ?spite,? suggesting his idealized perceptions are under duress."

From the Paper
"BROWNING?S MY LAST DUCHESS
Recognized by scholars as one of the great dramatic monologues in all literature, Browning?s My Last Duchess is both a marvel of condensed emotion and a penetrating insight into the nature of self-absorption and jealousy. The narrative, ostensibly a description of a portrait, is actually a devastating portrait of the one describing it. Browning uses ambiguity, shifts in mood and symbolism to give the reader a glimpse at a chilling personality. Above all other elements of the poem, the characterization stands out as a testimony to Browning?s formidable poetic capacities. Through the character of the Duke, Browning explores the nature of good and evil, of innocence abused. The poem is ?a study in cold, systematic torture of a warm human soul by an icy-hearted tyrant? (Phelps 172)."

Abstract
This paper discusses how Robert Lowell and Robert Creeley are two great American poets and how, although the two men have different styles of poetry, both are just as influential. Lowell's poems tend to be longer and more detailed, while Creeley's poems are shorter and seem to require more analysis. The paper examines how, despite their differences, both poets somehow "use" historical issues in their works and how, whether it is more obvious, such as Lowell's, "For the Union Dead", or a more subtle approach, such as Creeley's, "I Know a Man", both poets incorporate a historical issues into these two poems.
From the Paper
"During the 1960s, Americans started focusing on American history. Robert Lowell's poem, "For the Union Dead", which was written in 1964, is no different. In "For the Union Dead", Lowell compares the 1960s look of Boston with the older images of Boston; he is trying to show the relationship between the past and present through these descriptions. It almost reads as if he is walking through Boston and writing what he sees, then compares the image with what is used to look like. He begins the first stanza with a description of how the South Boston Aquarium looks now, with "Its broken windows boarded/The bronze weathervane cod has lost half its scales" (Lowell 2-3). The issue here is Lowell's hometown is vanishing; aspects that he remembers as being beautiful are now falling apart. Lowell is sad to see his home like this, as he remembers it as a fun place to visit as a child. "

Marvell's 'Coy Mistress' and Browning's 'Duchess', 2005.
Comparison of Andrew Marvell's 'To His Coy Mistress' and Robert Browning's 'My Last Duchess".
1,607 words (approx. 6.4 pages), 0 sources, $ 52.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that a comparison of the two poems reveals that the poems' apparently misogynistic tones disguise the poets' true attitudes toward women. The writer provides an analysis of the poems' speakers, tone, and figurative language. Browning and Marvell both use irony, figurative language, and a distancing of the poet from the speaker to convey their attitudes toward women. It explains that Browning contradicts his speaker's impression of women as objects to be possessed, who should obey their masters and inordinately appreciate their masters' "gifts." Marvell disagrees with the attitude that women are easily manipulated by "talk of love" and readily dominated by morbid threats. It concludes that both authors express-albeit in a backhanded way-a very liberated attitude toward women, especially given the prevailing mores at the time of these poems' publications.
From the Paper
"Andrew Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress" and Robert Browning's "My Last Duchess" explore selected aspects of male-female relationships. Marvell's poem focuses on a suitor's entreaties to a prospective lover. Browning describes a meeting between an Italian nobleman and the representative of a potential bride's family. Through their choices of speaker and their use of figurative language and tone, the poets express consistent, progressive attitudes toward women. This paper will examine how each poet's use of the above three elements reveals his attitudes toward women."
