Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
Auteur de Sonnets portugais : Edition bilingue anglais-français
A propos de l'auteur
Elizabeth Barrett was born in Coxhoe Hall, Durham, England, in 1806. Most of her childhood was spent on her father's estate, reading the classics and writing poetry. An injury to her spine when she was fifteen, the shock of her brother's death by drowning in 1840 and an ogre-like father made her afficher plus life dark. But she read and wrote, and no little volume of verse ever produced a richer return than her Poems of 1844. Robert Browning read the poems, liked them, and came to her rescue like Prince Charming in the fairy story. Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning were married on September 12, 1846. Barrett Browning's enduring fame has rested on two works-Poems (1850), containing Sonnets from the Portuguese, and Aurora Leigh (1857). The former is a celebration of woman as man's other half and the latter is a celebration of woman's potential to stand on her own. During the Edwardian and later periods, it was Sonnets from the Portuguese that embodied Barrett Browning. Since the rise of feminism, it has been Aurora Leigh. More recently, a third side of Barrett Browning has been revealed: the incisive critical and political commentator, seen in her letters. Elizabeth Barrett Browning died in Florence, Italy, in 1861.

Moulton Barrett, Edward (father) - Courte biographie
- The love story of Elizabeth Barrett, one of the most prominent poets of the Victorian era from a young age, and the poet and playwright Robert Browning, has itself inspired many works of fiction and biography. Their courtship had to be conducted in secret as her domineering father did not want his children to marry. After much planning, in 1846 the couple married in a private ceremony in London and then eloped to Paris. They went on to Italy, which became their home almost continuously until Elizabeth's death. In 1849, at the age of 43, between four miscarriages, she gave birth to a son, Robert Wiedemann Barrett Browning, whom they called Pen.

Critiques
The original book of Sonnets from the Portuguese consisted of 44 poems. They reprinted in this illustrated volume along with 22 of the authors other love poems.
Beautifully sad poems revealing EBB's sorrow and resignation to a life of loneliness, her disbelief at becoming the object of Robert Browning's ardent love, her low self-esteem and feelings of unworthiness, gradually, and only partially, transformed by hope and constancy of affection.
I don't know enough about their lives, but from the little I do, it seems Elizabeth and Robert did find happiness together, and I hope she came to feel herself worthy of being loved ❤️

Aurora Leigh is an epic poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Published in 1856, it tells the story of a young woman poet, Aurora Leigh, who rejects the marriage proposal of her cousin, Romney Leigh, and pursues her artistic and social aspirations in England, Italy, and France. Life happens, as life often does, and her views on art, love, society, and gender are challenged. In the end, it reads to reflect Browning’s own life experiences, such as her love for Robert Browning, her illness, and her interest in social reform. The poem is written in blank verse and consists of nine books, each with a different theme and tone and is considered one of her most ambitious and original works. This is poetry at its finest. A fun fact, or lore, the poem Aurora Leigh is claimed to have influenced many writers and artists, such as Virginia Woolf, George Eliot, Emily Dickinson, and Christina Rossetti…and yours truly!… (plus d'informations)

SUMMARY/ EVALUATION:
SELECTED This title came up in a book I was listening to, I believe. A book by Charlie Lovett I think. I’d been meaning to read classic poetry, so looked it up in the catalog at work, found it, and borrowed the print.
ABOUT:
It’s a book of poems.
OVERALL OPINION:
I used to enjoy writing poetry when I was in junior high and high school, but I lost heart in my early 20's when a friend borrowed my box of poems from over the years for her husband to analyze for song potential, and she never returned them, eventually tiring of my requesting them back so responding with, “they were burned in a fire.”
As for reading it, I have read some traditional poetry (sorry, can't remember authors) that I really liked, but, other than “How do I Love Thee”, these didn’t wow me.
AUTHOR:
Elizabeth Barret Browning (From Wikipedia)
“6 March 1806 – 29 June 1861) was an English poet of the Victorian era, popular in Britain and the United States during her lifetime and frequently anthologised after her death. Her work received renewed attention following the feminist scholarship of the 1970s and 1980s, and greater recognition of women writers in English. Born in County Durham, the eldest of 12 children, Elizabeth Barrett wrote poetry from the age of eleven. Her mother's collection of her poems forms one of the largest extant collections of juvenilia by any English writer. At 15, she became ill, suffering intense head and spinal pain for the rest of her life. Later in life, she also developed lung problems, possibly tuberculosis. She took laudanum for the pain from an early age, which is likely to have contributed to her frail health.”

EXCERPT
“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.”
RATING:
3 stars.
