[edit] "Developed during Victorian period" questionable

Since dramatic monologue was known for centuries before the Victorian period, I'm not sure it's correct to assert that the dramatic monologue, in poetry, was a Victorian invention. I suppose we aren't counting Elizabethan drama, although it is verse, because we categorize it as "drama" today.... it is clearly poetry, too, though, and probably not the earliest example of dramatic monologue, though I admit I do not know where to begin research to find the earliest example.
