Publisher's Synopsis
The love letters of Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett are among the most famous in literary history: intimate and sensitive, they illuminate both the writers' lives and their creative aims and methods. Daniel Karlin's selection, which complements his widely acclaimed The Courtship of Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett, is based on a fresh examination of the manuscripts and allows the reader to follow the story in all its scope and richness, from the beginning of their clandestine correspondence to their elopement in 1846.
