Despite her fragile health, Barrett Browning’s poetic works gained significant recognition. Her poetic debut, “An Essay on Mind and Other Poems,” was published in 1826.
In 1844, she married Robert Browning, a fellow poet, against her father’s wishes. Their love story and elopement to Italy became a source of inspiration for her later works. Her most famous collection, “Sonnets from the Portuguese,” published in 1850, is a sequence of deeply personal and emotional poems dedicated to her husband.
Barrett Browning was a passionate advocate for social issues, such as women’s rights and abolitionism. Her political beliefs were reflected in poems like “The Runaway Slave at Pilgrim’s Point” and “A Curse for a Nation.” “Aurora Leigh” (1856), an epic novel in verse, tackled feminist themes and the role of women in society.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poetic style combined intricate language with intense emotions, and her works often explored the complexities of human relationships and social injustices. She passed away in Florence, Italy, in 1861, leaving behind a legacy as one of the most significant poets of her time.
