Sordello is a historical fiction novel written by Robert Browning and published in 1840. The story follows the life of Sordello, a 13th-century Italian troubadour and poet who struggles to find his place in the world. Sordello is torn between his desire to create beautiful poetry and his ambition for political power, which leads him on a journey through the courts of Italy and France. Along the way, he encounters various historical figures such as Dante Alighieri and struggles to reconcile his artistic and political aspirations. The novel explores themes of love, power, art, and identity, and is known for its complex narrative structure and dense poetic language. Despite its initial critical reception, Sordello is now considered a masterpiece of Victorian literature and a significant work in Browning’s career.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
