Sordello, Strafford, Christmas-Eve And Easter-Day - Robert Browning - Bog

Sordello, Strafford, Christmas-Eve and Easter-Day is a collection of four poems written by the English poet Robert Browning. The first poem, Sordello, is a historical narrative about the life of the troubadour poet Sordello. The second poem, Strafford, is a dramatic monologue about the trial and execution of Thomas Wentworth, the Earl of Strafford, during the English Civil War. The third poem, Christmas-Eve, is a philosophical and theological exploration of the meaning of Christmas, told through the perspective of a skeptical narrator. The fourth and final poem, Easter-Day, is a meditation on the nature of faith and the resurrection of Christ, also told through a skeptical narrator. Browning's use of dramatic monologue and his exploration of complex philosophical and theological themes make this collection a challenging and rewarding read for lovers of poetry and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
