Florence in the poetry of the Brownings; : being a selection of the poems of Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning which have to do with the history, the scenery and the art of Florence, edited by Anna Benneson McMahan / Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Robert Browning, Anna Benneson McMahan.
This is a 1907 edition of a book edited by Anna Benneson McMahan and published by A.C. McClurg & Company, entitledℓFlorence in the Poetry of the Brownings. It contains two of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poems—"Casa Guidi Windows" and "The Dance"—and six ofℓRobert Browning's poems, all of which exemplify the profound influence that Florence, Italy had on the literary couple. As McMahan discusses in her introduction, the Brownings moved to Florence after their elopement, causing their rejection by Barrett's father and brothers. The two spent 15 years and nearly their entire married life in Florence, and it was there that they both produced some of their most romantic and famous works.
