Robert Browning wrote Victorian poetry best known for dramatic monologues in which speakers reveal more about themselves than they intend. My Last Duchess presents a duke describing a dead wife and exposing his possessiveness, while Porphyria's Lover turns intimacy into a disturbing act of control.
