Hawlin and Burnett present the final volume in this three volume Oxford edition of Browning''s great murder-story The Ring and the Book. The commentary in this edition contains a wealth of new contextual material that illuminates Browning''s work in sometimes surprising ways. The copy text of 1888-9 the final edition of Browning''s lifetime has been scrupulously examined both in relation to compositors'' errors and Browning''s own final corrections to the text.
