Description ▲
Robert Browning sought the ideal in every facet of his life and work, but it seemed impossible for anyone to remain an object of his love for long when held up to his perfectionist standards. One by one, Browning's idols would inevitably fall from their lofty pedestals, but could he survive disillusionment with his beloved wife, Elizabeth Barrett? Would he find some means of preventing Elizabeth from falling from her pedestal, too?
