          Sinopsis
          Robert Browning, well-known English poet and playwright, wrote the long and enchanting poem, <i>Paracelsus</i>, after visiting St. Petersburg. This lengthy and dramatic poem is actually a monologue which stands out in Browning's repertoire as significantly different than his other work. The content of the poem explores the career of the sixteenth-century alchemist of the same name as the title of the book. <br><br>The poem itself has been of interest to modern readers due in part to its monologue form. In addition, subjectivity of treatment is intriguing and distinct (having been described by some as a "spiritual autobiography"). The poem explores a fascinatingly mature philosophy of life that has enchanted readers for generations. The beauty if its descriptive passages have illuminated the minds of readers in ways that only Browning's poetry can. Through beautiful verse and philosophy, Browning creates a revelation and reflection. He explores and determines the secrets of the Universe and enlightens his readers with his writing. Although Browning has written many other texts, once this poem reached popular success it established him as a familiar name with the reading public. It also established him as a poet to watch out for in future publications. <br><br>Some critics have challenged the poem stating that it has many faults in structure and style. Most readers are able to overlook the issues cited by critics, as they find more interest in the concepts held within the text and less with the structure of the work. The mysticism of <i>Paracelsus</i> appeals to a large audience of readers more so than any critic's complaints.
          Acerca de Robert Browning

          Robert Browning (1812-1889) was born in Camberwell, London, the son of a clerk in the Bank of England. The strongest influence on his education were the books in his father's extensive library, particularly the writings of Byron and Shelley. His dramatic poem Paracelsus, published in 1835, established his reputation and brought him the friendship of the actor-manager William Macready. When Macready's eldest son Willie was ill in bed, Browning wrote for the boy's entertainment the poem of The Pied Piper, a story he remembered from his own childhood. After its appearance in print in 1842, it became a children's classic, attracting new illustrators in every generation.In 1846 Robert Browning married a fellow poet, Elizabeth Barrett, eloping with her to Italy where they lived until Elizabeth's death in 1861. He them returned to England to live with his only sister Sarianna, but later he went back to Italy, where he died at the Rezzonico Palace in Venice.Peter Washington is the editor of many of the Everyman's Library Pocket Poets, including Love Poems, and is the author of Madame Blavatsky's Baboon: A History of the Mystics, Mediums, and Misfits Who Brought Spiritualism to America.
