“Porphyria’s Lover‚” which first appeared in 1836‚ is one of the earliest and most shocking of Browning’s dramatic monologues. The speaker lives in a cottage in the countryside. His lover‚ a blooming young woman named Porphyria‚ comes in out of a storm and proceeds to make a fire and bring cheer to the cottage. She embraces the speaker‚ offering him her bare shoulder.
