Part 2 of the extensive collection of all the letters which passed between Robert Browning (1812-1889) and Elizabeth Barrett Moulton-Barrett (1806-1861) in the years 1845 and 1846, which marked the beginning of their acquaintance and formation of their romantic relationship. The nearly daily exchange of letters during this period gives a minute insight into the private and public life of these two authors, as well as into their work and how they influenced each other in their writings.
