About This Book

A chronological life study traces the poet's family background, childhood, schooling and emergence as a writer, then follows his early publications, travels, dramatic interests, marriage and long residence in Italy, social and literary friendships, and later years leading to illness and death. The narrative interweaves published and private letters, eyewitness recollections, and editorial commentary to illuminate creative motives, daily habits, working methods, critical reception, and the genesis and publication history of major poems and plays.
