Robert Browning spent fifteen years married to a fellow poet, Elizabeth Barrett. It was a good marriage but Pamela Neville-Sington shows how their union proved a disaster for Browning's literary career. Robert was less well-known than Elizabeth when they married but he hoped he'd produce his best work with his wife and Muse by his side. However, although Elizabeth encouraged her husband's ambition, she became his Siren rather than Muse - disabling him with her song.Browning was forty-nine when Elizabeth died, and this new biography takes her death as its starting point. The central drama of Browning's life was the conflict between a need to put his marriage behind him (he had a young son, Pen, to bring up) and the overwhelming desire to cling to his wife's memory and preserve the literary myth of their marriage.While wrestling with this situation, Browning was drawn to three very different women - sensitive Julia Wedgwood, impetuous Lady Ashburton and the rich American Katherine Bronson.Pamela Neville-Sington's unique approach has produced an unusually insightful biography. Browning's life was one of love, loss, death and redemption, as well as a man's compelling struggle to overcome grief and begin his artistic life anew.

There are some stylistic oddities resulting from the decision to avoid a straightforward chronological approach, but nothing too annoying apart from the habit of quoting long passages of verse in-line with slashes for line-breaks. Unlike most recent literary biographers, Ms Neville-Sington or her editors have managed to produce a book remarkably free of typos and linguistic errors. ( )
