"Here we have not only both sides of the correspondence but contained within it, in the words of the two lovers themselves, both of them poets, one of the few love stories from real life that can compete in plot interest with the art of the fictioner. Its inherent interest is only partly that it is so unlike routine human experience; it lies rather in the fact that Browning and Miss Barrett reenact an archetypal myth." (Editor).
