Junto a Chaucer y Shakespeare, Robert Browning (1812-1889) fue considerado por Ezra Pound como uno de los tres grandes hitos de la literatura británica de todos los tiempos. La hondura psicológica y las innovaciones formales que introdujo en el discurso poetico dejaron huella profunda en la lirica inglesa y norteamericana del siglo XX, desde el propio Pound y T.S. Eliot a Louis Zukofski o John Ashbery, pasando por Dylan Thomas, Robert Lowell y John Berryman, entre otros.
