In 1846 Elizabeth Barrett rose from an invalid's 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 Elizabeth's 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 Browning's chivalrous
rescue and Barrett's 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 poet's work.
