In June, 1860, Browning purchased an ""old yellow book"" from a bookstall in Florence. The book contained legal briefs, pamphlets, and letters relating to a case that had been tried in 1698. Browning resolved to use it as the source for a poem. The result, The Ring and the Book, is one of the most important long poems of the Victorian era.

This comprehensive selection includes over eighty of Browning's shorter poems, amongst them his most famous and best-loved dramatic monologues, as well as the complete text of many of his longer poems. This edition also selects generously from the love letters between Browning and Elizabeth Barrett, as well as from Browning's more general correspondence.

Volume XI of The Complete Works of Robert Browning contains two strikingly disparate long poems from the 1870s, Fifine at the Fair and Red Cotton Night-Cap Country. As always in this series of critical editions, a complete record of textual variants is provided, as well as extensive explanatory notes.

To speakers of modern Greek the Homeric poems of the 7th century BC are not written in a foreign language. The Greek language has enjoyed a continuous tradition from earliest times until now. This book traces its history from the immediately post-classical or Hellenistic period to the present day.

Volume IV in the series on Browning, under the general editorship of Ian Jack, contains the remainder of the remarkable "Bells and Pomegranates" pamphlets, dramatic romances and the lyrics, "Luria" and "A Soul's Tragedy".

This is an edition of the first third of Browning's 21,000-line masterpiece The Ring and the Book, a poem which Henry James called a `monstrous magnificence'. The editors throw new light on how the poet wrote this Italian murder story and give all the background annotation needed to understand it.

Hawlin and Burnett present the final volume in this three volume Oxford edition of Browning's great murder-story, The Ring and the Book, a poem which Henry James called a 'monstrous magnificence'. Browning concludes his poem with the monologues of Pope Innocent XII and of Guido in his prison-cell prior to execution, and then the witty, ironic envoi of Book XII.

This is the second instalment of Browning's great murder-story set in the Italy of the 1690s, The Ring and the Book, a poem which Henry James called a 'monstrous magnificence'. Here Browning lets the central characters of his poem - the corrupt aristocrat and murderer Franceschini, his victim, and her rescuer - tell the story in their own words.

Robert Browning was one of the greatest of English poets, whose intense and original imagination enabled him to transform any subject he chose - whether everyday or sublime - into startling memorable verse. In his work he brought to life the personalities of a diverse range of characters, and introduced a new immediacy, colloquial energy and psychological complexity to the poetry of his day. This selection brings together verse ranging from early dramatic monologues such as the chilling 'My Last Duchess' and the ribald 'Fra Lippo Lippi', which show his gift for inhabiting the mind of another, to the popular children's poem 'The Pied Piper of Hamelin' and many lesser known works. All display his innovative techniques of diction, rhythm and symbol, which transformed Victorian poetry and influenced major poets of the twentieth century such as Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot and Robert Frost.

This volume contains some of Browning's finest and best-loved poetry. All significant textual variants are recorded, and each of the "Bells" is accompanied by an introduction and full annotation.

First published in 1842, Robert Browning's poetic version of the legend about the lost children of Hamelin is sub-titled 'A Child's Story' and was originally intended only for the private enjoyment of Willie Macready, young son of the famous actor.

This scholary edition of Browning's greatest and perhaps best-known collection of short poems contains new research which throws light on the composition and dates of such famous pieces as "Fra Lippo Lippi" and "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came".

When their correspondence began in 1845, Robert Browning was 32 years old and Elizabeth Barrett 38. This selection of letters from their two-year courtship concentrates on their developing love-relationship and, at the same time, reveals the interaction of two acute and inventive minds.

All the great themes they shared are represented in this collection of their shorter poems - love, marriage, poetry, religion, England and Italy, the natural world - and the poems are accompanied by a selection from the marvellous letters they wrote to one another, especially in the years of their courtship.
