Description
“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...” Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s Sonnets from the Portuguese are famous for lines like those, ones that evoke the emotions of love so truly—its sublime power, its tender blush. These are some of the most beautiful sonnets in the English language, written by Barrett Browning as her wedding to poet Robert Browning approached in the mid-nineteenth century. Published after their wedding, these poems offer a surprisingly intimate and beautifully lyrical perspective on the bonds of affection that can form between two people.
