Riviere Leather Fine Binding: POETICAL WORKS OF ROBERT BROWNING

Description: What a gorgeous book. 1936 edition of Browning's poems from Oxford University Press. Finely bound by Riviere & Son in full red calf, a stellar fine leather binding. All of the exquisite touches you'd hope for, from the gilt decoration to covers, the raised bands, colored panels and intricate gilt compartments to spine, to the inner dentelles, marbled endpapers etc etc etc. A glorious binding in near fine condition, with a couple very light wear lines to rear cover. All edges gilt! Internally clean and unmarked. A beautiful example of Browning's most important works. Robert Browning (1812- 1889) was an English poet and playwright whose mastery of dramatic verse, and in particular the dramatic monologue, made him one of the foremost Victorian poets. His poems are known for their irony, characterization, dark humor, social commentary, historical settings, and challenging vocabulary and syntax. The speakers in his poems are often musicians or painters whose work functions as a metaphor for poetry.
