The Poetical Works Of Elizabeth Barrett Browning - Volume Iv

Elizabeth Barrett Browning (6 March 1806 - 29 June 1861) was an English poet and one of the most prominent poets of her time. During her lifetime her poetry gained great applaud both in England and in the United States. She suffered from ill health all her life and was amazed that Robert Browning fell in love with her and wished to marry her. She was eight years his senior and an invalid. The marriage resulted in her being disinherited by her father and the Brownings lived in Italy for most of their married life. After she died, Robert Browning published her later poems.
