There's nothing that gets readers' hearts fluttering quite like a literary love affair. This disc of readings from some of the greatest works of English literature takes us on a tour of the most dramatic and romantic love scenes, from Shakespearean days to the twentieth century. Here are real-life couples, such as John Keats and Fanny Brawne, Lord Byron and the inimitable Lady Caroline Lamb, and the dual-writer households of the Shelleys and the Brownings. Alongside them, fictional couples proclaim their love in the classic works of Jane Austen, George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, and D. H. Lawrence. The culmination of the collection is a mesmerizing complete performance of the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet.
