Florence Gibson MacDonald creates a dark and achingly passionate love story that explores the role of addiction in artistic inspiration and brings new perspective to the love that endures in their verse.
Victorian poets Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Robert Browning are as renowned for their passionate relationship as they are their poetry. How Do I Love Thee? revisits the life of the 19th-century poets from their courtship, carried out entirely through letters, to their sudden elopement and tumultuous marriage marred by drug addiction and financial strife.
