Near Fine, [PU: Smith, Elder & Co.], Smith, Elder, & Co., London, 1904. Robert Browning (7 May 1812 – 12 December 1889) was an English poet and playwright whose mastery of the dramatic monologue made him one of the foremost Victorian poets. His poems are known for their irony, characterization, dark humour, social commentary, historical settings, and challenging vocabulary and syntax. In 1846 Browning married the older poet Elizabeth Barrett, who at the time was considerably better known than himself. So, started one of the famous literary marriages. When Browning died in 1889, he was regarded as a sage and philosopher-poet who through his writing had made contributions to Victorian social and political discourse – as in the poem Caliban upon Setebos, which some critics have seen as a comment on the theory of evolution, which had recently been put forward by Darwin and others. Among living writers, Stephen King's “The Dark Tower” series and A. S. Byatt's “Possession” refer directly to Browning's work. This book is two volumes bound into one. Volume 1 is 748 pages and volume 2 is 786 pages for a total of 1,534 pages. The pages are a high quality “onion paper” that enables the book to avoid being overly huge. The book is half bound white vellum with mottled boards. The spine has two brown leather labels, the top label “Poems of Robert Browning” and the bottom label “1904. The bottom label is a bit scuffed but overall is in near fine condition. The highlight of the book is the exquisite Art Nouveau flower on the spine of the book complete with falling leaf. The book has mottled endpapers in green and brown to match the covers. Top edge gilt. A very attractive and collectible book from more than one perspective., Books<
