Alfred Lord Tennyson and Robert Browning are by many considered the best poets in an age that was teeming with good poets, male and female. Independently from each other, they developed the most important new genre of Victorian poetry, the dramatic monologue. In very different ways, they were both grand masters of the English language. We will closely read some of their best-known poems, and we will contextualize them within their socio- and literary historical contexts and, in a few cases, the poets' biographies.
