Abstract

In 1864, three years after the death of his wife, Robert Browning engaged in a correspondence with Frances Julia Wedgwood, an intellectual spinster of thirty. Miss Wedgwood was a woman of distinguished ancestry, being a descendant also of Sir James Mackintosh, and a relation by marriage of Charles Darwin. Miss Redwood had long been an admirer of Browning's poetry. She herself had written several novels, so it was natural that sooner or later an occasion should arise when she and Robert Browning would meet.
