Though his reputation as a poet varied over the course of his life, he was widely respected and celebrated by the time of his death. Critically, he is most widely praised for his monologue poems, but one of his best-known poems remains "The Pied Piper of Hamelin," which first appeared in Part III of Bells and Pomegranates. Browning was the husband of fellow poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning. 1377519. Shelved Dupont Bookstore.
