Authorized Images Famous Authors Seen Through Antique and Vintage Postcards: Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Robert Browning, Matthew Arnold
Robert Browning And his wife Elizabeth gained fame in the Victorian Age not only as two of the century's most important English poets but also because of their scandalous elopement, escape from London, and settlement in Italy. By the standards of straight-laced Britain, their behaviour was amoral, with the result that few postcards of them were commercially available during the Golden Age of postcards. Those which were are well represented in this volume. Matthew Arnold, by contrast, was an Establishment figure featured in several postcards from the turn of the century-most of them presented in this book.
