Dared and Done
by Julia Markus
The story of two great English poets Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning, whose work was immediately recognized and adored by their contemporaries, whose courtship ranks with the great love stories of all time - and in whose marriage romance was not merely sustained but intensified. We follow the course of their rich marriage, from the beginning when each saw the other as a brilliant poet, a compassionate and strangely similar heart, through the years in which they discovered each other's differences, each remaining a complex and thrilling human being to the other. To tell their story, Markus for the first time makes use of much of Elizabeth's unpublished correspondence, amid a wealth of other documents. She delves fully into the Brownings' Creole background and shows how it affected their lives and their work (Elizabeth was the first of the Jamaican Barretts to be born in England in many generations). Brilliantly interweaving the Brownings' own words with her authentic and perceptive narrative, Julia Markus brings these two great poets - their marriage, their work, their times - alive as never before.

Lewis Carroll in Wonderland

One summer afternoon on the banks of the river Thames, a young Oxford professor named Charles Dodgson shared a picnic with three little girls who asked for a story. One of them was Alice, and the adventure he created for her under the pen name Lewis Carroll has captured the hearts of readers throughout the world. Who was this mathematician-turned-writer, and why has his tale so enchanted us? Enter the mind of Lewis Carroll, who gave us the timeless magic of Alice in Wonderland.
