Elizabeth Barrett Browning Selected Poems

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s reputation has sometimes been overshadowed both by the achievements of her husband, Robert Browning, and by the romantic story of their elopement. This selection recovers the best work of this independent, passionate and intelligent poet, presenting it on its own terms. Browning emerges as an acute observer of the political dramas taking place in Italy and the private dramas of relationships. Brought up to a life of confinement, Browning (1806-1861) matured into a champion of personal and social freedom, a poetic innovator who wrote some of the 19th century’s most politically engaged and subtly erotic poetry.
