About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Love Songs by Elizabeth Barrett Browning; Robert Browning. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning shared one of the great literary and romantic marriages of the 19th century, eloping to Italy to escape the objections of her family. Although they both wrote poetry throughout their married life, this collection was selected and edited after the death of both writers and there is no evidence that they themselves ever intended these poems to be a single collection. - Summary by Alan Mapstone
