Robert's 70th Birthday

It was not until after his publication of The Ring and The Book  in the late 1860s that Robert Browning gained popularity. As we can see, Robert was most popular near the end of his career. One of the items mentioned in the exhibit, Fredrick James Furnivall's volume of inscriptions, shows that Robert had followers from around the world. This volume was given to Robert on his 70th birthday.
