LIMITED EDITION

ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING

SONNETS AND BALLAD

IN ENGLISH AND ITALIAN
 


 

Two hundred and fifty numbered, signed editions of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Sonnets from the Portuguese, Sonnet 'On Hiram Powers' Greek Slave', and the ballad, Runaway Slave at Pilgrim's Point, are edited, translated, typeset in William Morris Troy and Golden fonts, handbound in hand-marbled papers. Elizabeth finally, shyly, gave the sonnet cycle to Robert in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, after the birth of their child, 'Pen', though she had written them during their Wimpole Street, London, courtship. Robert immediately had them published. These volumes are produced in the English Cemetery in Florence, Italy, where both Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Hiram Powers are buried. Their sales will help fund the restoration of the Swiss-owned, so-called 'English' Cemetery.
