My Last Duchess - GCSE Revision - Context

"There she stands / As if alive..." the painting of the duchess is relayed to us via Browning's poem. We're two steps removed from the real thing, but Emma is here to describe what you need to know about the background to this chilling monologue. Subscribe to channel link -    / @beyondrevision   My Last Duchess is beautifully constructed, but is a sinister and uncomfortable poem to come to terms with. We take you through the fascinating history of Robert Browning, as he sought to bring something radical to the - as he saw it - safe world of Victorian poetry. In doing so, he provides a haunting commentary on misogyny and the patriarchy in the 19th century, that echoes similar social experiences that he read about in the Renaissance period.
