Casa Guidi Windows: A Poem (Cambridge Library Collection - Fiction and Poetry)

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

4.9/5 (9687 ratings)

Description:In 1847, Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806 61) moved with her new husband to an apartment in Florence, in the wake of perhaps the most famous literary courtship of the nineteenth century. She soon took to calling their home the Casa Guidi. From there, she observed the events of the early Risorgimento. It was at this time that she produced some of her finest work, including Aurora Leigh and Casa Guidi Windows. An impressionistic and thoroughly atypical landmark in the Romantic canon, the latter was written in two parts, separated by several years. Beginning with the memory of a singing child and a lush description of Florence's beauty, the first part explores the air of optimism that permeates both the city and the narrator. By the second, disillusionment is rife: Florence has become the scene of demonstrations and broken political promises. This reissue of the 1851 first edition includes Barrett Browning's own introduction."Excerpt from Casa Guidi Windows: A Poem This Poem contains the impressions of the writer upon events in Tuscany of winch she was a witness. "From a window," the critic may demur. She bows to the objection in the very title of her work.
