    the dramatic monologue
  • Browning's principal achievement lies in his introducing to English poetry a new form, the dramatic monologue. He defined the feature of his poems as "Dramatic in principle". In other words, a dramatic story in his work is not told through action but by the monologues of the characters concerned, each of whom, by turns, revealing his own thoughts and emotions in certain situation. Thus the reader, by hearing the monologues spoken by all the characters through to the end, will get a clear idea of the whole story as well as the personality and innermost soul of each character.
