Dramatic Lyrics: Dramatic Lyrics is a collection of English poems by Robert Browning, first published in 1842 as the third volume in a series of self-published books entitled "Bells and Pomegranates".  It is most famous as the first appearance of Browning's poem "The Pied Piper of Hamelin", but also contains several of the poet's other best-known pieces, including "My Last Duchess", "Soliloquy of the Spanish Cloister", "Porphyria's Lover", and "Johannes Agricola in Meditation".

She dwelt among the untrodden ways: "She Dwelt among the Untrodden Ways" is a three-stanza poem written by the English Romantic poet William Wordsworth in 1798 when he was 28 years old.  The verse was first printed in "Lyrical Ballads", 1800, a volume of Wordsworth's and Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poems that marked a climacteric in the English Romantic movement.  The poem is the best known of Wordsworth's series of five works which comprise his "Lucy" series, and was a favourite amongst early readers.  It was composed both as a meditation on his own feelings of loneliness and loss, and as an ode to the beauty and dignity of an idealised woman who lived unnoticed by all others except by the poet himself.  The title line implies Lucy lived unknown and remote, both physically and intellectually.  The poet's subject's isolated sensitivity expresses a characteristic aspect of Romantic expectations of the human, and especially of the poet's, condition.

Stephan Agricola: Stephan Agricola (c. 1491–1547) was a Lutheran church reformer.  Born in Abensberg, at a young age he joined the Augustinian order.  As a monk, he studied Augustine deeply.  As a student, he went to the universities in Bologna and Venice, where in 1519 he became a Doctor of Theology.  He began to preach on whole books of the Bible in 1520.  He was led to Lutheranism through his study of Augustine's works on the scriptures.  He was accused of Lutheranism as a heresy.  Although he claimed his independence of Luther, he was arrested and imprisoned in Mühldorf on November 17, 1522.  In 1523 he escaped and came to Augsburg, where with Urbanus Rhegius he fully accepted the Reformation and translated Johannes Bugenhagen's tract "ag.  Zwingjli" into German.  He was on the Lutheran side during the Marburg Colloquy, became pastor in Hof in 1532, took part in the meeting at Schmalkalden in 1537, and signed the Smalcald Articles.  He was instrumental in introducing the Reformation in the Upper Palatinate, as he was pastor at Sulzbach beginning in 1542.  During the Schmalkaldic War, he had to flee to Eisleben, where he died in old age on April 10–11, 1547.  Stephen Agricola was a staunch uncompromising Lutheran, earnest and devoted.  His son, Stephen, translated some of Luther's commentaries on the minor prophets.

The sonnets were first published in 1633—two years after Donne's death.  The poems are sonnets and are predominantly in the style and form prescribed by Renaissance Italian poet Petrarch (or Francesco Petrarca) (1304–1374) in which the sonnet consisted of two quatrains (four-line stanzas) and a sestet (a six-line stanza).  However, several rhythmic and structural patterns as well as the inclusion of couplets are elements influenced by the sonnet form developed by English poet and playwright William Shakespeare (1564–1616).

Robert Browning: Robert Browning (7 May 1812 – 12 December 1889) was an English poet and playwright whose mastery of the dramatic monologue made him one of the foremost Victorian poets.

Thomas Hood: Thomas Hood (23 May 1799 – 3 May 1845) was an English poet, author and humorist, best known for poems such as "The Bridge of Sighs" and "The Song of the Shirt".  Hood wrote regularly for "The London Magazine", the "Athenaeum", and "Punch".  He later published a magazine largely consisting of his own works.  Hood, never robust, lapsed into invalidism by the age of 41 and died at the age of 45.  William Michael Rossetti in 1903 called him "the finest English poet" between the generations of Shelley and Tennyson.  Hood was the father of playwright and humourist Tom Hood (1835–1874).
