Publisher's full gray cloth, gilt lettering on red and black label on spine, gilt and red medallion on cover, tan endpapers.

This brief biography is followed by a sound critical analysis of Browning's poetry, and his place in the stream of English poetry. You will also find three original facsimiles of Browning manuscripts in this volume: his first love-letter to Elizabeth Barrett; another to a friend, describing his philosophy of life and what he thought of his own poems; and the third, the manuscript of his last poem, Epilogue to Asolando, from the volume which was published on the day of his death. There is also a comprehensive glossary of unfamiliar names, words, and foreign phrases.. This is a new, unopened copy in perfect condition; unmarked, unread, tight, square, and clean.
