The Barretts of Wimpole Street

BBC One
on BBC One London

by Rudolph Besier

Mr Barrett ruled his family with excessive Victorian severity; his obsessive love for his daughter Elizabeth kept her virtually a prisoner in her room, with only her poetry and her spaniel Flush to bring colour to her existence... till the flamboyant poet Robert Browning burst into her life.

(Feature p 9)
