Sonnets From The Portuguese by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Elizabeth Barrett had already attained some renown as poet, critic and scholar when the gusty, vibrant personality of Robert Browning swept into her cloistered life. Within weeks she was shivering on the brink of a new world, alternating between despair and incredulous hope, but deeply and irretrievably in love. ‘How do I love thee? Let me count the ways…’ Elizabeth’s secret marriage to Browning brought idyllic happiness; but for succeeding generations, this romance has overshadowed her undeniable genius. These forty-four sonnets – original works, not translations – form a perfect unity. Intelligent, fluent and intensely moving, they trace the progress of a love story with unwonted freshness and poignancy.
