From the Back Cover
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 involving a child bride, a disguised priest, a triple murder, four hangings and the beheading of a nobleman. Browning resolved to use it as the source for a poem. The result, The Ring and the Book, is certainly one of the most important long poems of the Victorian era and is arguably Browning’s greatest work.
Basing their edition on the 1888–89 version of the poem, Altick and Collins include the last corrections Browning intended before his death. In addition to a substantial introduction, this Broadview Literary Texts edition also includes selections from Browning’s correspondence, and contemporary reviews and reactions to the work.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Pompilia, a young woman facing a brutal reality in 17th-century Italy. Through her own words, the author brings to life the complexities of her life, marriage, and ultimately, her tragic fate. The reader is plunged into Pompiliaââ â¢s world, where she recounts her upbringing, her arranged marriage to the volatile Count Guido Franceschini, and the profound impact this union has on her life. Pompilia reflects on the deceit and manipulation she endures, while also grappling with the conflicting forces of love, duty, and her own yearning for a life free from cruelty. The author masterfully interweaves historical details with the emotional turmoil of Pompiliaââ â¢s experience, exposing the darker aspects of societal norms and the profound consequences of human actions. This is a powerful and moving exploration of innocence lost and the search for justice in a world where truth is often obscured.
