Abstract:

Browning, certainly is a very difficult poet various reasons are given for the obscurity and difficulty of his poetry. His poetry is a piece of intellectual vanity indulged in more and more rudely as his years and fame increased. Browning’s long life and career show that he was not at all vain. All his contemporaries agree that he never talked cleverly or tried to talk cleverly which is always the case with a man who is intellectually vain. Browning did not elaborate, explain, and clarify because he was humble, and so did not think that he had anything new or significant to say. He was humble enough to think that what he knew was quite common place, and was known even to the man in the street.
