6. ‘The Dark Tower’ Was Inspired by a Robert Browning Poem
It was called “Childe Rolande to the Dark Tower Came”. Written in 1855, Browning based his poem on both an 11th century knight’s tale and a line from Shakespeare’s King Lear. It’s worth noting that the term “Childe” refers not to a kid, but to a novice knight and that Browning’s poem is filled with just as many imaginary dangers as it is real ones. King’s Dark Tower series is filled with similarly dangerous illusions.
