Browning lived in a time of transition in British poetry; the great sweep of Romanticism had reached its end, and it would be some decades well after Browning's death before the new excitement of the modern would burst onto the poetic scene. This period of interregnum in English literature would become dominated by poets attempting to transmute the wild energy of the Romantic age into new and tempered forms. Despite this reputation, much of the great advances and revolutions in poetic thinking that would sweep the world beginning in the twentieth century had their genesis in the Victorian era, and one of the greatest poets of this age was Browning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrowning was influenced strongly by Percy Bysshe Shelley, and in particular Shelley's lengthier dramatic poems such as Prometheus Unbound, which inspired him to the dramatic poetry which would ultimately cement his own reputation. Browning was an accomplished lyric poet, but he would be famous (and, for a time, notorious) for his insistence on vast forms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven in his lifetime, Browning was celebrated by other great writers for turning such phrases in his verse as: “The truth is within ourselves;” and “What Youth deemed crystal, Age finds out was dew;” and “God is the perfect poet, Who in his person acts his own creations.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor all of his complexity, he also rendered crystal clear images like this:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe year’s at the spring,\u003cbr\u003eAnd day’s at the morn;\u003cbr\u003eMorning’s at seven;\u003cbr\u003eThe hill-side’s dew-pearl’d;\u003cbr\u003eThe lark’s on the wing;\u003cbr\u003eThe snail’s on the thorn;\u003cbr\u003eGod’s in His heaven—\u003cbr\u003eAll’s right with the world!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTABLE OF CONTENTS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTABLE OF CONTENTS\u003cbr\u003ePARACELSUS\u003cbr\u003ePART I\u003cbr\u003ePARACELSUS ASPIRES\u003cbr\u003ePART II\u003cbr\u003ePARACELSUS ATTAINS\u003cbr\u003ePART III\u003cbr\u003ePARACELSUS\u003cbr\u003ePART IV\u003cbr\u003ePARACELSUS ASPIRES\u003cbr\u003ePART V\u003cbr\u003ePARACELSUS ATTAINS\u003cbr\u003eDRAMATIC LYRICS\u003cbr\u003eCAVALIER TUNES.\u003cbr\u003eI.
