About the book

Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Sonnets from the Portuguese is a sequence of forty-four love sonnets inspired by her courtship and marriage to Robert Browning. The poems trace the speaker's movement from doubt and emotional reserve toward trust, devotion and spiritual love. Intimate yet formally controlled, the sequence includes some of the most celebrated love poetry of the Victorian period.
