| Summary |
"The Letters of Elizabeth Barrett Browning" by Browning is a collection of correspondence written in the mid-19th century. This compilation presents a rare glimpse into the life and thoughts of one of the most prominent poets of the Victorian era, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, as well as her relationships with various contemporaries, including her husband Robert Browning. The opening of this volume sets the stage for understanding Browning's personal and literary journey. It begins with a preface outlining the editor Frederic G. Kenyon's thoughtful approach to selecting and arranging the letters, respecting the wishes of Browning and her family regarding the publication of private matters. The first letters offer insights into her early life, reflecting on her childhood in Herefordshire, her health struggles, and her burgeoning passion for poetry. Through her letters, we see Elizabeth's engagement with family, her early writings, and her deep emotional reflections, particularly during times of personal loss, all of which weave together to create a portrait of a sensitive and intellectually vibrant individual.
