Product Description

Review
"This is the most exciting sort of biography to read, or to write: the myth-dispelling biography which overturns an old story, and does so most convincingly."
--"New Statesman"

Product Description
This biography of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, written with reference to Browning correspondence only recently available, argues that the poet was a strong and determined woman largely responsible for her own incarceration in Wimpole Street. The author traces her life from her early childhood and adolescence and explores her marriage. She draws a picture of early Victorian family life and aims to show that Elizabeth was a considerable and dedicated poet, self-willed, witty and courageous. Forster has also edited the companion volume "Selected Poems" of EBB, and is the author of several other biographies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning poetry beautifully packaged, 7 May 2004
Elizabeth Barrett Browning's collection of love poems needs no introduction. A collection of love letters in verse, the title refers to the nickname given to the poet by her lover and husband Robert Browning.

Bloomsbury's pocket-sized edition is the perfect foil for these verses, small enough for you to carry about with you if you fancy a quick-fix of romance during your day, the binding elegant enough to make a perfect Valentine's gift.

I love all the Bloomsbury Classics series. The paper is heavy with a lovely creamy texture and the dust jackets are decorated with a series of block printed patterns. For me, this title will be a welcome addition to my collection and a companion to Robert Browning's selected poems from the same edition.
