Casa Guidi Windows

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Casa Guidi Windows" is a long poem by English poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning, published in 1851.[1][2][3][4]

Casa Guidi is a 15th-century house in Florence, Italy, where Barrett Browning and her husband, Robert Browning, rented an apartment from 1847 until her death in 1861.[5]

George Eliot noted in her diary on 19 February 1862 that:

I have lately read again with great delight Mrs. Browning's Casa Guidi Windows. It contains amongst other admirable things a very noble expression of what I believe to be the true relation of the religious mind to the Past.[6]
