Description
Sordello is a long poem by Robert Browning, published in 1840. It was initially met with criticism for its challenging vocabulary and syntax, which led to a decline in Browning's reputation at the time. However, it wasn't until later that his work began to gain recognition, particularly after he married Elizabeth Barrett, who helped establish him as a leading British poet. The poem features frequently in his work, reflecting his love of Italy, which he considered 'my university'. Today, Sordello is seen as an important part of Browning's middle period, during which he developed a more personal style and published collections such as Men and Women.
