Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Brownings and America From the first of their literary career, America not only honored the Brownings, but the Brownings honored America. At an early age Mrs. Browning, as Elizabeth Barrett, had read Paine´s Age of Reason, and in her Essay on Mind, published in 1826, had referred in the Rights of Man to his argument in the throne´s defense instead of against monarchy. In the same Essay she had referred to Washington Irving as striking "Pierian chords." But when Edgar Allan Poe dedicated to her his little volume of thirty poems, "The Raven and other Poems; New York; Wiley and Putnam: 1845," her interest naturally became more personal. She fully appreciated the dedicatory words: "To the Noblest of her Sex - To the Author of ´The Drama of Exile´ - To Miss Elizabeth Barrett Barrett of England, I dedicate this Volume, with the most Enthusiastic Admiration, and with the most Sincere Esteem - E. A. P." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
