Question

summary of "The Lost Leader" by Robert Browning.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Published in 1845 in the collection Dramatic Poems and Lyrics, Robert Browning's "The Lost Leader" is a political poem about a writer who has betrayed his ideals. It was immediately understood as an attack on Browning's fellow poet William Wordsworth, a previously radical writer who had grown conservative in his later years and accepted honors from a monarchy he once opposed. Without addressing Wordsworth by name, the poem accuses him of abandoning his progressive beliefs and turning his back on everyone who had "loved" and "followed" him. It has remained a memorable takedown of the kind of leader who sells out their cause for personal gain.
