The Letters of Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Barrett, Part 3, by Robert Browning (1812-1889) and Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861)
Part 3 of the extensive collection of all the letters which passed between Robert Browning (1812-1889) and Elizabeth Barrett Moulton-Barrett (1806-1861) in the years 1845 and 1846, which marked the beginning of their acquaintance and formation of their romantic relationship. The nearly daily exchange of letters during this period gives a minute insight into the private and public life of these two authors, as well as into their work and how they influenced each other in their writings.
Part 3: June to September 1846. (Summary by Sonia)

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

so interesting to read that EBB is reading the new book by Dumas "Comte de Monte Cristo" right at the moment where she writes the letter. Now a classic, back then a "new book". 8-)
