	The Ring and the Book - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The book tells the story of a murder trial in Rome in 1698, whereby an impoverished nobleman, Count Guido Franceschini, is found guilty of the murders of his young wife Pompilia Comparini and her parents, having suspected his wife was having an affair with a young cleric, Giuseppe Caponsacchi.
		Book 10 is perhaps the best-known of the monologues in the poem, as Pope Innocent considers Franceschini's appeal against a wider backdrop of moral issues, and a deep reflection on the nature of good and evil, before rejecting the condemned man's plea.
		Book 11, which features Franceschini in his cell on "death row" the night before his execution, is similarly well-regarded, with the narrator veering from near-psychotic spleen to begging for his life.

	Literary Encyclopedia: The Ring and the Book
		The first book, titled “The Ring and the Book” is spoken by somebody very like Browning, who summarises the situation; an embittered minor aristocrat Guido Franceschini married Pompilia, the teenage daughter of an elderly Roman couple, in the mistaken belief that she was wealthy.
		Book 6, “Giuseppe Caponsacchi” sees the accused priest telling his side of the story to the court, admitting his love for Pompilia but insisting that this love was pure, and that he helped her escape for no carnal reason.
		Book 8 “Dominis Hyacinthus de Archangelia” and Book 9 “Juris Doctor Johannes-Baptista Bottinius” are spoken by the two lawyers in the case, and are both colossal examples of legal quibbling and pedantry, both effectively beside the point.

	§14. "The Ring and the Book". III. Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Vol. 13. The Victorian Age, ...
		Nowhere is his poetic work so uniformly great as in Dramatis Personae (1864); and there is no doubt that The Ring and the Book is the most magnificent of all his achievements, in spite of its inequalities.
		There was an interval of four years between Dramatis Personae and The Ring and the Book.
		But the theme had interested him from the moment when he came upon the “old, square, yellow book” on an old bookstall in Florence—the parchmentbound tale of the trial of an Italian noble for the murder of his wife.

		Books : The Ring and the Book (Penguin English Poets)
		This context is what makes The Ring and The Book such a curious poem, but even without the framework which Browning's artistic credo places around it, it has many merits.
		The Ring and The Book is often excerpted in anthologies, but it deserves to be read, in sequence, in its entirety.

	Browning, Life of Robert Browning - Chapter 6.
		It is clear, therefore, that the greatness of "The Ring and the Book" must depend even less upon its subject, its motive, than upon its being "an extraordinary feat" in the gymnastics of verse.
		If "The Ring and the Book" were deflowered of its blooms of poetry and rendered into a prose narrative, it might interest a barrister "getting up" a criminal case, but it would be much inferior to, say, "The Moonstone"; its author would be insignificant beside the ingenious M. Gaboriau.
		In these three introductory books we have the view of the matter taken by those who side with Count Guido, of those who are all for Pompilia, and of the "superior person", impartial because superciliously indifferent, though sufficiently interested to "opine".

		The course sought to understand how various changes in technologies of communication have transformed the very structure of human consciousness: from orality/literacy debates to the Gutenberg revolution to the industrial revolution of the nineteenth century to the digital and media technologies of the postmodern period.
		However, the contention of the course was that one cannot properly understand the changes occuring in the postmodern era without understanding the changes effected by past technologies of reproduction.

	The Ring: the book and the film
		As I suspected before the principal character in the book is a man. The general outline is the same but the episodes that constitute the book are quite different.
		And the Title in the book is a little bit less determined though the in the film they simplified the mystery to the minimum.
		Maybe if they treated all those moments close to the book the film would be much better but they wrecked it completely with super dumb episodes and shifted the accents from paranormal to the banal evil monster movie.

		Although much of the book's mythology is standard fantasy fare, Lustbader creates intriguing and conflicted characters and spins a complex world of religion, magic, and technology around them.
		Ring is a refreshingly different entry in the fantasy sweepstakes with Lustbader breaking away from the stereotyped battle between a group of innocents and an imprisoned "Dark One" aided by a band of apostates.
		This book is just the setting of the stage (in fact it's ending hangs in the air) and the main story is yet to develop.

		The book contained legal briefs, pamphlets, and letters relating to a case that had been tried in 1698 involving a child bride, a disguised priest, a triple murder, four hangings and the beheading of a nobleman.
		The result, The Ring and the Book, is certainly one of the most important long poems of the Victorian era and is arguably Browning's greatest work.
		He has written and edited many books on the Victorian era, including the Penguin edition (now out of print) of The Ring and the Book.
