The Bishop Orders His tomb at Saint Praxed's Church

Selling the Drama(tic Monologue)

For a long time, Robert Browning's main calling card was his more-famous wife, Elizabeth Barrett. Still, he didn't stay overshadowed forever. He kept writing, even self-publishing his work, and, before he died, there was a Robert Browning Society that celebrated his work. Mainly, Browning was known for his dramatic monologues. "The Bishop Orders His Tomb" is just one example. If this kind of style floats your boat, check out "The Laboratory," "My Last Duchess," and "Fra Lippo Lippi."
