First edition of this poetic retelling of Euripides' 'Alkestis' by Victorian poet Robert Browning. Octodecimo, original cloth with gilt titles to the spine and decorative borders stamped in black to the front and rear panels. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, "Mrs. Procter -- with RB's affectionate regards." The recipient was presumably the wife of Browning's long-time friend and correspondent, Bryan Waller Procter, one of the numerous lawyer-poets of nineteenth-century England. From the library of noted collector William Strutz with his small bookplate to the front pastedown. In very good condition. Rare and desirable signed and inscribed.
