Robert Browning's Complete Works, Vol. 7: The Ring and the Book, Books 1-6

Robert Browning (1812-1889) was an English poet and playwright whose mastery of dramatic verse, especially dramatic monologues, made him one of the foremost Victorian poets. The Ring and the Book is a 12-book epic-length poem in which he justifies the ways of God to humanity through twelve extended blank verse monologues spoken by the principals in a trial about a murder. Helen A. Clarke also contributed introductions and notes.
