Publisher's Synopsis
Dramatic Lyrics is a collection of poems written by the Victorian poet Robert Browning. The book was first published in 1842 and contains some of Browning's most famous works, including ""My Last Duchess"", ""Porphyria's Lover"", and ""The Pied Piper of Hamelin"". The poems are written in dramatic monologue form, with each one presenting a character speaking directly to the reader or to a silent listener. The subjects of the poems range from historical figures to fictional characters, and they explore themes such as love, jealousy, power, and morality. Browning's use of language and his ability to create vivid characters have made Dramatic Lyrics a seminal work in the history of English poetry, and it continues to be studied and admired by readers and scholars alike.Oh Galuppi, Baldassaro, this is very sad to find!
