Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique glimpse into the lives and works of the celebrated 'poet-pair,' Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. It does so through the lens of their vast trove of private correspondence; it also incorporates numerous documents that highlight the couple's friendship with fellow poets and thinkers, such as John Kenyon, Alfred Dommett, and R.H. Horne. The volume is arranged chronologically, following the poets' courtship and eventual union in 1846. Through their letters, one encounters insights into the 'poetic genius of an intense and complex personal relationship.' One also encounters how these creative minds found support and inspiration in their collaborative relationship. Spanning a significant period in the literary landscape of 19th-century England, the book's contents have been collected from public and private archives; they serve to illuminate the lives and works of a literary power couple whose influence on Victorian culture was profound.
