This carefully crafted ebook is formatted for your eReader with a detailed table of contents. Robert Browning (1812 – 1889) was an English poet and playwright known for his mastery of dramatic verse and the dramatic monologue, making him one of the leading Victorian poets. The collection includes an introduction by G. K. Chesterton and a selection of plays: Paracelsus, Strafford, and several from the "Bells and Pomegranates" series, including Pippa Passes, King Victor and King Charles, The Return of the Druses, A Blot in the ‘scutcheon, Colombe’s Birthday, and Luria and a Soul’s Tragedy, as well as Herakles and The Agamemnon of Aeschylus. Pippa Passes is a verse drama dedicated to Thomas Noon Talfourd, noted for its role as the first in a series of dramatic pieces. King Victor and King Charles, Browning's second stage play, explores the peculiar events in the Kingdom of Sardinia during 1730–32, where the elderly King Victor Amadeus II abdicated in favor of his son, Charles Emmanuel III, only to demand restoration later. The play, consisting of four acts and four main characters—Victor, Charles, Polyxena, and the minister D'Ormea—delves into themes of deception and redemption, offering a nuanced portrayal of historical figures.
