A Dialogues Distinguished Scholar seminar featuring Beverly Taylor
Writers are often thought of as lonely souls who sacrifice their personal lives to dedicate themselves to their art, but many find love and companionship—and sometimes with other writers! Join distinguished scholar Beverly Taylor as she explores two marriages between giants of 19th century English literature: the Shelleys (Mary and Percy Bysshe) and the Brownings (Elizabeth Barrett and Robert). Participants will learn about their personal histories, their relationships, and how their marriages influenced their art.
TOPICS
- Percy Bysshe Shelley and Mary Shelley
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Robert Browning
