About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox volunteers bring you 11 recordings of My Last Duchess by Robert Browning. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for May 28, 2017. Read in English by ashleighjane; Algy Pug; Eva Davis; Newgatenovelist; Greg Giordano; Leonard Wilson; Ryan Finch; Tony Addison; Tomas Peter; tovarisch and Winston Tharp. NOTES: "My Last Duchess" puts in the mouth of a Duke of Ferrara, a typical husband and art patron of the Renaissance, a description of his last wife, whose happy nature and universal kindliness were a perpetual affront to his exacting self-predominance, and whose suppression, by his command, has made the vacancy he is now, in his interview with the envoy for a new match, taking precaution to fill more acceptably. (Dramatic Romances by Robert Browning)
