Pippa Passes (1901)

Robert Browning

Pippa Passes is a collection of dramatic monologues written by the British poet Robert Browning, first published in 1901. The title poem, Pippa Passes, tells the story of a young silk worker named Pippa who, on her one day off a year, wanders through the town of Asolo, Italy, observing the lives of the town's inhabitants and inadvertently influencing their actions. The other poems in the collection are also dramatic monologues, each spoken by a different character and exploring themes of love, jealousy, betrayal, and redemption. The collection is notable for its use of multiple voices and perspectives, as well as its vivid descriptions of the Italian countryside and its people. Browning's poetic style is characterized by his use of complex language and syntax, as well as his interest in exploring the psychology of his characters. Pippa Passes remains a significant work in Browning's oeuvre and in the history of English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
