About This Item
London: Chapman and Hall, 1855. First edition of one of Browning's finest collections, in the primary binding with pale cream-colored endpapers. Octavo, two volumes, original publisher's olive green cloth stamped in blind, gilt titles to the spines. In good condition. Housed in a custom slipcase. A collection of fifty-one poems in two volumes, Browning's Men and Women contains some of the best of his poetry including "Love Among the Ruins," "Fra Lippo Lippi," "Any Wife to any Husband," and "The Statue and the Bust." It was his first published work after a five year hiatus, and his first collection of shorter poems since his marriage to Elizabeth Barrett (to whom Edgar Allan Poe dedicated The Raven) in 1846.
