This correspondence between the renowned poets Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Barrett captures the blossoming relationship that led to their marriage, reflecting their thoughts on poetry, art, and personal struggles. The letters showcase their mutual admiration, intellectual conversations, and the deep affection they developed for one another.
