 This paper analyses Robert Browning’s love poems bringing out feminist issues which are addressed in these love poems like equal fidelity, female oppression and the fight for liberation as well as female assertiveness and the question of inheritance. Love occupies a key position in human existence and even in religion as God is referred to as Love. This paper examines the role of men and women in the love equation in Robert Browning’s poetry. In Browning’s chemistry of love, what place does a woman occupy? Browning’s men, how do they see their women and how do their women see the men in love and life? Using the feminist and biographical literary theories, this paper argues that Robert Browning, consciously or unconsciously influenced by his wife, portrays a “New-Woman” in his poetry .The paper reveals that true love does not know death as some men and women even love their wives/husbands better after their death as Robert Browning did. Such lovers never remarry as Robert Browning did.
