"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways." Thus begins Elizabeth Barrett Browning's sonnet "XLIII," the penultimate poem in her collection Sonnets from the Portuguese. Written for her husband Robert Browning, these sonnets are not only some of the most formally precise poems in the English language, but among the most astonishingly beautiful love poems ever written.


Über den Autor / die Autorin










Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861) was an English poet. The daughter of a wealthy family-her father made his fortune as a slave owner in Jamaica, while her mother's family owned and operated sugar plantations, mills, and ships-Browning eventually became an abolitionist and advocate for child labor laws. Her marriage to the prominent Victorian poet Robert Browning caused the final break between Browning and her family, after which she moved to Italy and lived there with Robert for the rest of her life. She began writing poems at a young age, finding success with the 1844 publication of Poems. Browning went on to be recognized as one of the foremost poets of early Victorian England, influencing such writers as Edgar Allen Poe and Emily Dickinson. She is most famous for her Sonnets from the Portuguese, a collection of 44 love poems published in 1850, and Aurora Leigh, an 1856 epic poem described by leading Victorian critic John Ruskin as the greatest long poem written in the nineteenth century. Browning suffered from numerous illnesses throughout her life, eventually succumbing in Florence at the age of 55.
