"Browning and His Century" by Helen A. Clarke is a look into the 1800s, using Robert Browning's poetry to understand the time period. It examines the big changes and thinking of the century, especially the fight between what people knew and what they believed, and it studies Browning's impact on books and ideas. The book discusses how Browning dealt with science, religion, and art of his time. The beginning starts with an overview of how society was changing, focusing on the struggle between knowledge and faith, and it explains how Browning's ideas fit into the larger picture of evolution, truth, and the mind.
