Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Robert Browning
Robert Browning was born in Camberwell on May 7th 1812. His father and grandfather had been clerks in the Bank of England, and his whole family would appear to have belonged to the solid and educated middle class - the class which is interested in letters, but not ambitious in them, the class to which poetry is a luxury, but not a necessity.
