Hardback. Condizione: Fair. The Poems and Plays of Robert Browning (1934) By Robert Browning ? The Modern Library ISBN: none (because in 1934 a book proved its legitimacy with gravitas, not a barcode) Condition: Used, as sold by Crappy Old Books This is the book you buy when you want to announce to the world: ?Yes, I read poetry. Old poetry. Dramatic poetry. Poetry that may require a dictionary, three cups of tea, and a firm belief in Victorian emotional endurance.? The Poems and Plays of Robert Browning collects the muscular, labyrinthine, deeply dramatic verse of one of history?s most impressively intense poets?bound together in a 1934 Modern Library edition that has almost certainly outlived at least three sets of shelving and one ill-advised minimalist décor phase. In this well-travelled copy, rescued with pride by Crappy Old Books , you will find: Browning?s major dramatic monologues , in which people confess things nobody asked about, frequently in metaphor. Plays that may never have seen the stage , but which absolutely saw every corner of Browning?s busy, restless imagination. Poems about love, death, ambition, guilt, art, God, passion, regret , and occasionally everything at once?as if Browning were trying to use up all his emotional supplies before Tennyson woke up. This particular volume arrives in gloriously Used condition, meaning: A softened spine , bearing the gentle crease of past readers who valiantly attempted ?Pippa Passes? before realising it is 150+ pages of Victorian theatre energy. Corners rubbed to a respectable dullness , like a scholar who?s been around long enough to be interesting. Warmly aged pages , the colour of faded parchment or very weak tea?either is appropriate for Browning. Inside, you will also encounter: Characters who express their feelings at a level of intensity that would break modern group chats. Lovers declaring devotion with the emotional subtlety of a cathedral bell dropped from a great height. Villains explaining their crimes in such florid language you almost forget they?re confessing to murder. And of course, as a vintage Modern Library edition, this book offers: That classic torchbearer logo , bravely illuminating your descent into Victorian psychology. A durable, slightly world-weary cloth binding whose colour can only be described as ?scholarly dusk.? The comforting knowledge that generations before you have wrestled with Browning?s syntax and survived. Your Crappy Old Books specimen may also come with: A nameplate or ghost of an owner?s name , perhaps from a long-lost era when people proudly wrote in their books. A faint dust-jacket shadow on the boards?proof that the jacket once existed, briefly, before achieving escape velocity. The unmistakable scent of Old Book , a mixture of paper, time, and mild intellectual intimidation. You?ll love this book if: You believe poetry should be a full-body experience. You think modern writing doesn?t use enough semicolons. You enjoy unlocking long sentences like Victorian escape rooms. You want a book that doubles as décor and personality statement. And because it?s from Crappy Old Books , you also get: A price that won?t require a dramatic monologue. A copy already softened by time, making it ideal for reading or simply posing attractively on a desk. One more reason to look mysterious and literary in cafés or on trains. Take The Poems and Plays of Robert Browning home. Let it sit nobly on your shelf, radiating intellectual menace and old-world charm. After all, if you?re going to read about moral anguish, operatic love, and philosophical theatrics, you might as well do it from a 1934 edition that has already witnessed plenty of human drama?just by surviving this long.…
