Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Summary

Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett: The Courtship Correspondence, 1845-1846. A Selection by Daniel Karlin (Reader in English Literature, Reader in English Literature, University College London)

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.

Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Reviews

`The art of selection has been well practised to concentrate the hundreds of letters and thousands of details into a coherent picture based not on narrative, but on the words of the main characters. And it emerges fresh, compact and as moving as on first reading. The editorial tact which presents the letters almost bare of interruption and explanation, clusters a few compact and lucid notes at the end.' The Scotsman
`an astonishingly rich treasury of these poets' prose has been published in a single volume' Times Literary Supplement
'one can only marvel at this record of a strange and marvellous passion' Fair Lady
'clearly presented and efficiently edited ... an agreeable way of sampling these extraordinary letters' Philip Drew, University of Glasgow, Durham University Journal
'A lavish selection of the love letters of the two poets.' Oxford Times
'This selection includes less than half of the total collection of letters, and has been edited to highlight 'what the two writers have to say about their own love-relationship'. In this respect the book is of particular value to students of Barrett's poetry.' Kenneth Millard, St Hilda's College, Oxford, English Studies, Volume 73, Number 4, August 1992
