Love Story of Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning - Matinee Theater

Matinee Theater was an attempt by CBS to provide quality dramatic programming for its Sunday afternoon listeners. A continuation of the series Dangerously Yours, it was renamed Matinee Theater with a view towards presenting "a greater range of stories".
Robert Browning was an English poet and playwright whose dramatic monologues put him high among the Victorian poets. His verse was noted for irony, characterization, dark humour, social commentary, historical settings and challenging vocabulary and syntax. His career began well - the long poems Pauline and Paracelsus were acclaimed - but his reputation shrank for a time - his 1840 poem Sordello was seen as obscure - and took over a decade to recover, by which time he had moved from Shelleyan forms to a more personal style. In 1846 Browning married the older poet Elizabeth Barrett and went to live in Italy. (Wikipedia)
