Forty-four love sonnets by Victorian era British poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
Written in 1845–46 after she met fellow poet Robert Browning and before they married, the sonnets remain among the most popular love poetry of all time. The collection was published in 1850 as being translated "from the Portugese" in order to provide some measure of privacy for the Brownings.
The most famous sonnet is undoubtedly number 43 (especially its first line):
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. |
