Summary
‘Lord Byron is altogether in my affection again’, Robert Browning wrote to Elizabeth Barrett a few weeks before their elopement in 1846. During their courtship, Browning revised the more critical opinion of Byron which had followed his youthful discipleship, and was eager to show that he shared Elizabeth’s enthusiasm.
