From that date until the death of Mrs Browning her "Letters," edited by Mr Kenyon, has been my chief source.

My method has not been that of quotation, but the substance of many letters is fused, as far as was possible, into a brief, continuous story.

Two privately issued volumes of Browning's letters, edited by Mr T.J.Wise, and Mr Wise's "Browning Bibliography" have been of service to me.

Mr Gosse's "Robert Browning, Personalia," Mrs Ritchie's "Tennyson, Ruskin and Browning," the "Life of Tennyson" by his son, Mr Henry James's volumes on W.W.Story, letters of Dante Rossetti, the diary of Mr W.M.Rossetti, with other writings of his, memoirs, reminiscences or autobiographies of Lady Martin, F.T.

Palgrave, Jowett, Sir James Paget, Gavan Duffy, Robert Buchanan, Rudolf Lehmann, W.J.Stillman, T.A.Trollope, Miss F.P.Cobbe, Miss Swanwick, and others have been consulted.
