This biography proposes a different view of the poet and his poems. Every one of his works is regarded in the same way that Browning himself regarded it; as a performance in which the author plays a part, as producer, presenter, or actor, or sometimes all three; and each is examined as part of a constantly revised script entitled \u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003ePresenting Robert Browning \u003cd\u003e\u003c\/d\u003e.
