Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 9&Up--This book presents biographical information first for Elizabeth Barrett Browning and then for her husband, Robert Browning. It describes their early lives, education, literary beginnings, correspondence, meeting, and subsequent marriage. After their marriage, the couple traveled first to Paris, then to Italy where they lived on and off for many years. The rest of the book is devoted to their publications. The text is filled with long, helpful summaries and critique. In addition, the poems are discussed against the backdrop of the Brownings' lives, which will make it easier for students to understand and analyze their work. Excerpts from letters are included. This handsome book contains quality reproductions of artwork, first drafts, and black-and-white photographs. A valuable resource for literature collections as well as for fans of these poets.

Review

"Poetry lovers and teachers of poetry will enjoy this edition of the lives and loves of two of the world's best-known poets.... The research used on these poets is authoritative and well documented. This book, unlike some, is not dry and dull but rather makes the people come off the pages. Students who read this book or simply read sections of it will learn more about this period and the people mentioned in the passages."--Christian Library Journal

"This handsome book contains quality reproductins of artwork, first drafts, and black-and-white photographs. A valuable resource for literature collections as well as for fans of these poets."--School Library Journal

"Students and staff...will find much to hold their interest in the pages of this book....A valuable resource for serious students."--Book Report
