The Patriot
(Robert Browning)
Robert Browning (1812-1889), a Victorian poet, is famous for his romantic monologues which are penetrating studies of personality as well as vogorous poetry. His 'The Ring and the Book' explores the human mind by telling the same story twelve times, each time from the point fo view of a different character.
A pratriot is a person who loves, support and defends, and, if need be, dies for his country. He is loved, admired and even worshipped by the public as long as he is found useful. But the public is fickle. The moment 'the patriot' loses its favour, he is discarded and consigned to the dust bin. Browning has given two contrasting pictures of 'the patriot' - from being a hero once, to now being a persona non grata. The account here is int the words of the hero himself and he succeds in conveying his agitated state of mind
