The Courtship of Robert Browning and Elizabeth BarrettAuthor :
Hardback
Published : Thursday 12 September 1985
Description
In 1846 Elizabeth Barrett rose from an invalids bed to elope to Italy with Robert Browning. The secret courtship of the two poets--their long correspondence and their meetings in the shadow of Elizabeths tyrannical father--has become one of the most celebrated romances of literary history. Based on a more intense study of the letters than has ever been attempted before, this book gives a fresh account of the powerful myth of Brownings chivalrous rescue and Barretts miraculous recovery, examines anew the character and motivation of the three principals, and demonstrates what and important part the letters play in the interpretation of both poets work.
