She grew up in a secluded little place called Hope End with her ten brothers and sisters . She was a fairly precocious child, reading voraciously, writing odes at age nine, and learning Greek along with Bro, her favorite brother. At 15, Elizabeth, along with her sisters Henrietta and Arabel, contracted some sort of disease. Elizabeth was much slower to recover for some reason, and it was around then that she started talking about her chronic ill health and a myriad of strange symptoms . She went to a spa in Gloucester, becoming addicted to laudanum (prescribed to help her sleep) and staying a little over a year, long past the point when her doctor was telling her to go home . But she never let anything stop her from reading and writing. In 1826, she had a poetic "Essay on Mind" published, at family expense, along with 14 shorter poems. By this time, she had firmly decided that marriage was awful and not for her; her life would be completely devoted to poetry. Her mother died suddenly in 1828, which really shook Elizabeth

Elizabeth Barrett Browning Researcher: Rachel Sahlman Artist: Dick Strandberg "How do I love thee, let me count the ways." These words, penned by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, are some of the most widely-known love lyrics in Victorian English poetry. Elizabeth Barrett Browning was born at Coxhoe Hall, Durham, England on March 6, 1806. She was the first of eleven children born to Edward and Mary Barrett. Browning was privately educated and spent much of her childhood in the country. It was a very happy childhood until Browning became seriously ill at age 15. She was virtually incapacitated as the result of a spinal injury and lung ailment. In 1832, Browning moved with her family to Sidmouth, Devon and then several years later to London. In 1833, Browning's translation of Prometheus Bound received high praise. After moving to London, Browning began publishing her own writings. Her first collection entitled The Seraphim and Other Poems was published in 1838, and her second volume Poems, by E. Barrett Barrett was published in 1844. The second volume was also published in the United States and included an introduction by Edgar Allan Poe. After the drowning death of her brother in the early 1840s, Browning became a virtual recluse. She did not want to meet anyone who did not belong to her close circle of friends, and she conducted most of her friendships through letters. However, in 1845, Browning received a telegram from the poet Robert Browning. The telegram read "I love your verses with all my hear, dear Miss Barrett. I do, as I say, love these books with all my heart - and I love you too." The two met several months later and fell in love. They wrote to each other daily and the letters from their courtship are a wonderful record of its progress. During this period, Browning composed her famous Sonnets from the Portuguese, which were published in 1850.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning Elizabeth Barrett Browning was born as Elizabeth Barrett Moulton-Barrett, the eldest of twelve children of an autocratic father who forbade his children to marry. She studied Greek alongside her brother while a child, and began writing at a very young age, and published in her teens. She also in adolescence she developed the ill health (the causes or illnesses involved in which are still not determined) that affected the remainder of her life; from that time she lived the secluded life of an invalid. The abolition of slavery in 1833, in which she rejoiced, substantially decreased her father's income from his Jamaican plantations and led to the sale of the family home in the country, after which the family moved to London. Barrett's 1844 Poems led to a two-year correspondence with Robert Browning (who was mentioned in them). They married secretly in 1846 and a few days left for Florence, where they were able to live on her independent income. Her health improved significantly after this point. She traveled, bore a son, and, despite her lasting grief after the drowning of her favourite brother in 1840 and her father's adamant refusal to see her after her elopement, continued her career as one of the most prominent poets of her time. After moving to Italy, Barrett Browning increasingly took up contemporary issues and debates including the Italian Nationalist cause, the abolition of slavery in the United States, and the position of women in Victorian society in such publications as

Elizabeth Barrett Browning Biography The most romantic poet of all time, Elizabeth Barrett Browning was born in 1806, in Hope End. She was the oldest of 12 children under Edward and Mary Moultan Barrett. They owned a Jamaican sugar plantation, worked by slaves. Elizabeth, nick-named Ba, was very intelligent and dedicated to becoming a poet. During the early 1800's women were not educated as well as men were so when her brothers were sent away to school her and her sisters remained at home. At 15 years of age she and two of her sisters caught a strange disease. They recovered much faster than Elizabeth did. She thought she was very ill and was sent away to a spa in Gloucester. There she became addicted to Launanun, a mixture of dissolved opium in alcohol, which was meant to help her sleep. Elizabeth had started writing poetry at age 8 and by the time she was 20, she had 3 pieces published. Most things she published were paid for by her father. In 1828 her mother died and Elizabeth suffered greatly. Her widower father possessively forbids his children to marry and Elizabeth promises her self not to. In 1832, due to slave rebellion the plantation fell, along with the families finances. They moved out of their estate into a comfortable house in Sidmouth, Devonshire, where Elizabeth's health improves slightly through walks along the water. In 1935 the family moved to London and Elizabeth saw this as her chance to meet with literary giants, which she did. Unfortunately her health took a turn for the bad and she had too move to a warmer climate. She became depressed and writing helped her get through it.

Copying it is encouraged. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Elizabeth Barrett Browning: TRANSLATIONS FROM THE GREEK CHRISTIAN POETS EDITOR'S NOTE: The series of papers on the Greek Christian Poets (from which the following translations are excerpted) appeared first in the -Athenaeum- between the months of February and August, 1842. They were reprinted along with a second series of papers on the English poets contributed to the same periodical in a small separate volume, two years after Mrs. Browning's death. ( The Greek Christian Poets and the English Poets , by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, London. Chapman and Hall, 1863.) As a mere girl, Miss Barrett had read the Greek Fathers in the original, under the guidance of the blind scholar, Hugh Stewart Boyd, who was deeply versed in them and could repeat from memory pages of their works both in prose and verse. A playful allusion to his especial enthusiasm for Saint Gregory Nazianzen occurs in Mrs. Browning's poem 'Wine of Cyprus', which was dedicated to Mr. Boyd: "Do you mind that deed of Ate Which you bound me to so fast, Reading "-De Virginitate-", From the first line to the last?

She was the eldest of twelve children of an autocratic father who forbade his children to marry. Elizabeth began writing at a very young age, publishing her first works while in her teens. From an early age Elizabeth suffered a chronic lung ailment. She spent most of her time in a darkened room writing poety and many letters. The famous English poet Robert Browning admired her "Poems" (1844) so much that he wrote to her. They met, fell in love, and were secretly married in 1846. Soon after their marriage they ran away to Florence, Italy, where Elizabeth began a remarkable physical recovery. In 1849, they had a son, Robert Wiedeman Barrett Browning. She increasingly took up contemporary issues including the Italian Nationalist cause, the abolition of slavery in the United States, and the position of women in Victorian society. Elizabeth died on June 29, 1861. Many critics agree that Elizabeth's best poems appear in "Sonnets from the Portuguese," a series of 44 sonnets recording the growth of her love for Robert Browning.

17. Isabella Valancy Crawford And Elizabeth Barrett Browning Essay, by Wanda Campbell, discussing the influence barrett browning may have had on Crawford's work. http://www.arts.uwo.ca/canpoetry/cpjrn/vol29/campbell.htm

Isabella Valancy Crawford and Elizabeth Barrett Browning by Wanda Campbell Isabella Valancy Crawford's long poem Malcolm's Katie: A Love Story has been convincingly linked with Tennyson's domestic idylls by Elizabeth Waterston, but what has yet to be explored is the influence of a poet whose reputation flourished alongside Tennyson's and for whom Crawford would have felt a strong affinity, Elizabeth Barrett Browning . During Crawford's lifetime, Barrett Browning's poetry was widely available and immensely popular on both sides of the Atlantic; it is safe to assume that Crawford, who by all accounts read widely and voraciously, would have been familiar with the work of the most famous woman poet of the nineteenth century. In 1845, Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote, "I look everywhere for grandmothers and see none." A few decades later, Isabella Valancy Crawford no longer faced such a predicament; she could turn for inspiration and ideas to a woman who surmounted challenges of gender and poetic aspiration similar to her own. A Drama of Exile , the Barrett Browning poem which is most relevant to a discussion of Malcolm's Katie , is an attempt to redefine the Eden story in female and romantic terms.

20. Elizabeth Barrett Browning Biography elizabeth barrett browning. 18061861. elizabeth barrett was born at Coxhoe Hall,Durham, England. In 1861, elizabeth barrett browning died at the age of 55. http://www.cswnet.com/~erin/ebbbio.htm

Elizabeth Barrett Browning Elizabeth Barrett was born at Coxhoe Hall, Durham, England. Elizabeth was educated at home, learning Greek, Latin, and several modern languages at an early age. In 1819, her father arranged for the printing of one of her poems (she was 13 at the time.) In 1821, Elizabeth injured her spine as a result of a fall. When her brother died in 1838, she seemingly became a permanent invalid. She spent the majority of her time in her room writing poetry. In 1844, Robert Browning wrote to Elizabeth admiring her Poems . He continued to write to her and they were engaged in 1845. Elizabeth's father disapproved of the courtship and engagement. In 1846, Elizabeth and Robert were secretly wed. Soon the couple ran off to Italy where Elizabeth's health improved. She continued to live in the villa of Casa Guidi for the remainder of her life. In 1850, Elizabeth's best known book of poems was published Sonnets from the Portugese . They are not translations, but a sequence of 44 sonnets recording the growth of her love for Robert. He often called her "my little Portuguese" because of her dark complextion. Elizabeth's poems have a diction and rhythm evoking an attractive, spontaneouse quallity though some may seem sentimental. Many of her poems protest what she considered unjust social conditions. She also wrote poems appealing for political freedom for Italy and other countries controlled by foreign nations.
