3 unusual facts about The Browning Version


Robert Browning

In The Browning Version (Terence Rattigan's 1948 play or one of several film adaptations), a pupil makes a parting present to his teacher of an inscribed copy of Robert Browning's translation of The Agamemnon of Aeschylus.

-- The inscription may be a verse from the original rewritten as a hexameter, unless that was just in The Browning Version. -->

-- Note that, on 2013-02-16 anyway, The Browning Version links to a disambiguation page, which is "almost always unintended" (as Wikipedia automatically notified me after the fact), but in this case its targets are exactly those specified between parentheses above, and it does not seem opportune to instead single out either the original play or one of the film adaptations, which would seem a matter of personal experience and preference.
