Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great - Volume 13
Little Journeys to the Homes of Great Lovers
Elbert Hubbard, the founder of the Roycroft community in East Aurora, New York, wrote his Little Journeys as monthly booklets of biographical sketches, later collected in volumes. This one is devoted to great lovers, and each chapter tells the story of a famous couple: Robert Louis Stevenson and Fanny Osbourne, Josiah and Sarah Wedgwood, William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft, Dante and Beatrice, John Stuart Mill and Harriet Taylor, Parnell and Kitty O'Shea, Petrarch and Laura, Rossetti and Elizabeth Siddal, Balzac and Madame Hanska, Fénelon and Madame Guyon, and Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton. The tale of Ferdinand Lassalle and Helene von Dönniges is told as a short play. Hubbard writes in a breezy, opinionated style. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
