Celebrated in their time and still popular over a century after
their deaths, Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett had a unique
relationship which is reflected in their work. Both were
distinguished as poets before they met, and they learnt from one
another without ever sacrificing their individuality. If Elizabeth
recognized that Robert's talent was the greater of the two, Robert
understood that his wife's voice was unique. All the great themes
they shared are represented in this collection of their shorter
poems - love, marriage, poetry, religion, England and Italy, the
natural world - and the poems are accompanied by a selection from
the marvellous letters they wrote to one another, especially in the
years of their courtship. Among the items included are extracts
from Aurora Leigh and Pauline, and the whole of Sonnets from the
Portuguese, together with many lyrics and narrative poems by both
poets.
