Premise: Robert Browning . The collection Dramatis Personae and the book-length epic poem The Ring and the Book followed , and made him a leading British poet . When Browning died in 1889 , he was regarded as a sage and philosopher-poet who through his writing had made contributions to Victorian social and political discourse -- as in the poem Caliban upon Setebos , which some critics have seen as a comment on the theory of evolution , which had recently been put forward by Darwin and others . Unusually for a poet , societies for the study of his work were founded while he was still alive .
Hypothesis: Robert Browning worked as a poet.
