Transcribed from the 1906 Caradoc Press edition by David Price
"Sonnets from the Portuguese" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning is a collection of love sonnets written in the Victorian era. Composed during the mid-19th century, this poetic work explores the profound emotions and complexities of romantic love, encapsulating Browning's deep feelings for her husband, poet Robert Browning. The collection stands as a testament to the intensity of her affection, merging personal and universal themes of love, longing, and devotion. The sonnets themselves unfold a rich tapestry of Browning's emotional journey, where she expresses vulnerability and strength in her affection. Through vivid imagery and poignant reflections, the poems reveal her struggles between love and fear, the desire for connection, and the aftermath of past sorrows. Central figures in the collection are the poet and her beloved, navigating the nuances of their relationship, underlining both the sanctity and the burdens of love. The series culminates in expressions of deep commitment and the transcendent quality of love, culminating in the renowned sonnet "How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count the Ways," which eloquently encapsulates the depths of her passion and devotion. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
