Robert Browning Poetry Annotations

This collection of annotations is designed to help teachers of AS English Literature deliver high quality lessons on the poetry of Robert Browning. These poems are from the Cambridge International AS English Literature course. Each poem is annotated and these notes are suitable for all abilities and will help students to understand what happens in each poem, relevant context, form and formatic features, key themes, structural devices, linguistic devices and poetic methods.

Regarded as one of the most important English poets of the Victorian period, Robert Browning is best known for his dramatic monologues (dramatic readings delivered by one character). His poetry explores themes of love, nature, religion, fate and death and pride. When I taught this unit to my classes, I annotated each poem beforehand and created questions for my students to answer. Each question was based on my notes. I could then feedback the answers using my annotations.

I have also included an introduction to the Cambridge International AS English Literature course with a breakdown of the units and grades. Thank you for downloading my resources.
