Summary "The Letters of Elizabeth Barrett Browning (Volume 2 of 2)" by Browning is a collection of personal correspondence written in the mid-19th century. It features the profound and intimate letters of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, renowned poet and literary figure, exploring her thoughts, feelings, and experiences during significant travels and events of her life with her husband Robert Browning. The letters reveal her literary musings, political reflections, and personal anecdotes, offering readers a rich portrayal of her character and her era. At the start of this volume, the readers glimpse into the lives of Elizabeth and Robert Browning as they embark on an extensive journey through Europe, beginning in Florence. Over the course of their travels, they visit Venice and subsequently Milan, traversing beautiful landscapes while coping with the challenges of travel, including personal health issues and the needs of their young child, Wiedeman. Throughout her correspondence, Elizabeth shares vivid impressions of the cities they explore, reflecting on both their artistic beauty and her own artistic work, such as her poem "Casa Guidi Windows," which delves into Italian politics – a subject that perhaps does not gain the widespread appreciation it deserves, illustrating her connection to the turbulent socio-political climate of the time.
