Pippa Passes, a Drama. With Drawings by L. Leslie Brooke

“Pippa Passes” is a dramatic poem by Robert Browning, first published in 1841 as the first number of his series “Bells and Pomegranates.” The poem follows Pippa, a young silk mill worker in Asolo, Italy, on her one holiday a year. As she passes through the town, her innocent songs and musings dramatically influence the lives of several different groups of people, often at crucial moments of decision or moral crisis. This edition, published in 1898, is beautifully illustrated by L. Leslie Brooke, adding another layer of artistic interpretation to Browning’s already rich and evocative verse. Brooke’s drawings bring the characters and settings of “Pippa Passes” to life, making this edition a particularly appealing choice for collectors and enthusiasts of Victorian literature and art.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
