This set of two mugs is inspired by the priceless collection of original manuscripts held by the British Library.
Each mug quotes famous romantic extracts that defied convention of that time.
The poet Elizabeth Barret Browning wrote a sequence of 44 love sonnets in the Sonnets from the Portuguese including the featured, 'How Do I Love Thee'.
Charlotte Bronte's first published novel Jane Eyre (originally published under the male pseudonym Currer Bell), tells the story of a passionate love checked by its heroine's stern moral scruples and apparently insurmountable difficulties. The extract featured is from the concluding chapter, 'Reader I Married Him'.
A declaration of passionate love on a mug!
