Many good gifts have come to English literature from the two Brownings, husband and wife, besides those poems, which are their greatest. The gift of one's poems is the gift of one's self. But in a fuller sense have this unique pair now given themselves by what we can but call the gracious gift of these letters. As their union was unique, so is this correspondence unique.... The letters are the most opulent in various interest which have been published for many a day.—Academy, London.
We have read these letters with great care, with growing astonishment, with immense respect; and the final result produced on our minds is that these volumes contain one of the most precious contributions to literary history which our time has seen.—Saturday Review, London.
We venture to think that no such remarkable and unbroken series of intimate letters between two remarkable people has ever been given to the world.... There is something extraordinarily touching in the gradual unfolding of the romance in which two poets play the parts of hero and heroine.—Spectator, London.
