Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Brownings for the Young IN this little volume a selection from the best poems of Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Brown ing is offered to those who are, comparatively speaking, beginners in the study and enjoyment of poetry. It is a selection from the writings of one who, in the opinion of many, is the greatest poet of the Victorian age, and of one who, with out any question, is the greatest poetess in our literature of this or any other age. And not only are they thus associated in greatness they also furnish the unique example of two great writers linked to one another by the closest and most sacred tie of all - as husband and wife. There is, therefore, a special appropriateness in bringing together (i believe for the first time) a selection from the poetry of each of them within the cover of a single volume. The selection is intended especially for young readers, who may not yet have made acquaintance with these poets in a more complete form but if it should come into the hands of their elders, I would bespeak the favour of all lovers of Robert or Elizabeth Barrett Browning for an undertaking, the effect of which may be, it is hoped, to increase the number of those who share their devotion.
