Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The "Life and Letters of Robert Browning" is a profound biographical work penned by Mrs. Sutherland Orr, providing readers with an intimate and comprehensive glimpse into the life and mind of the renowned Victorian poet, Robert Browning. The plot has so many twists and turns that can engage a reader. Some stories are brutal and weird, while others creep up on you and draw you in slowly. As the title character is so indulgent, readers are forced to keep reading to find out what happens next. In this fascinating biography, Mrs. Sutherland Orr's thorough research and profound understanding of Browning's life and literary accomplishments show through. The work of literature takes the reader on an in-depth trip through Browning's life, from his early years and family background through his poetry career and personal connections. The writer skillfully explains Browning's artistic progress, difficulties, and the social and philosophical the environment of the time with a treasure trove of letters, personal tales, and historical background. Readers learn about the creative processes behind some of Browning's most famous works, including "The Ring and the Book" and "Dramatis Personae." Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional snapshots. In exceptionally good condition. . Mrs. Alexandra Sutherland Orr,(18281903), the biographer of Browning, born on 23 Dec. 1828 at St. Petersburg, where her grandfather, (Sir) James Boniface Leighton, was court physician, was second daughter of Frederic Septimus Leighton (18001892), a doctor of medicine, by his wife Augusta Susan, daughter of George Augustus Nash of Edmonton. Frederic Leighton, Lord Leighton [q. v. Suppl. I], was her only brother. She was named Alexandra after her godmother the Empress of Russia. The family travelled much in Europe, and Alexandra was educated mostly abroad. Her health was always delicate. On account of her defective sight, most of her very considerable knowledge was acquired by listening to books read aloud to her. She married on 7 March 1857 Sutherland George Gordon Orr, commandant of the 3rd regiment of cavalry, Hyderabad contingent, and accompanied him to India. They were there during the Mutiny, and Mrs. Orr had a narrow escape from Aurungabad, her ultimate safety being due to the fidelity of Sheikh Baran Bukh. Orr died on 19 June 1858, worn out by the sufferings and privations endured in the Mutiny. He was gazetted captain and brevet major and C.B. on the day of his death. Mrs. Orr then rejoined her father, who, after sojourns in Bath and Scarborough, finally settled in London in 1869. Mrs. Orr's main interests lay in art and literature, and in social intercourse with artists and men of letters. Already in the winter of 1855-6 she had met, in Paris, the poet Robert Browning, with whom her brother was on intimate terms from early manhood. The poet's acquaintance with Mrs. Orr was renewed at intervals until 1869, when, both having fixed their residence in London, they became close friends. For many years he read books to her twice a week. Shortly after its formation in 1881, Mrs. Orr joined the Browning Society, became a member of the committee, wrote notes on various difficult points in Browning's poems, and was generous in money donations. The most important fruit of the connection was her illuminating 'Handbook to the Works of Robert Browning' (1885; 3rd edit. 1887); written at the request of some members of the society, and with the encouragement and help of the poet, the book is a kind of descriptive index, based partly on the historical order and partly on the natural classification of the various poems' (cf. Pref. 1885). The scheme of classification owed something to the suggestion of John Trivett Nettleship [q. v. Suppl. II]. The sixth edition (1892, often reprinted) embodied Mrs. Orr's final corrections.
