Synopsis
Excerpt from A Browning Primer: Being a Companion to the Pocket-Volume of Selections From the Poetical Works of Robert Browning
Robert browning was born at Camberwell, May 7th, 1812. The mixed nationality of which he comes forms an important and interesting clue to the broadness of his ideas and sympathies. His father's mother was a Creole of St. Kitts; his mother's mother a Scotchwoman. She married a scotch-german mariner, William Wiedermann, and of this marriage was born the poet's mother, Sarianna Wiedermann. His father, also Robert Brown ing, was a clerk in the Bank of England, but the occupa tion was an uncongenial one, and be determined that his son should follow the bent of his inclinations, whitherso ever they might lead him. A loveless and unhappy childhood had pre-disposed the elder Browning towards making his children's lives as happy as possible.
