ABOUT THE COURSE:The course is developed to strengthen learners’ understanding of the Victorian Era vis a vis poetry of Tennyson and Browning. It will uncover new sides of Browning’s poetry delving into three major dimensions: philosophy, spirituality and psychology. While he is conventionally explored as a craftsman of dramatic monologue, his poetry also reflects ideas closely linked with our life, especially his firm faith in divine power anchoring the universe.
