The Great Poet - Robert Browning written by Robert Browning performed by David Timson and Patience Tomlinson on Audio CD (Unabridged)

Here is a fine selection of poetry from the great innovator of the dramatic monologue: Robert Browning. Imbued with psychological penetration, lively wit, and colloquial exuberance which were hitherto alien to Victorian poetry, Brownings poetry was remarkable for its time. His expert mimicry of voices from across the breadth of human nature makes for entertaining listening, and the characters that he depicts, such...

as the notoriously creepy and possessive Duke, are utterly fascinating. The theatrical talents of David Timson bring Brownings verse to life and this popular anthology stands out as an exceptional addition to our growing The Great Poets series.
