Elizabeth Barrett Browning XIV) E se mi devi amare per null’altro sia che per amore.Non dire "L’amo per il suo sorriso, il suo sguardo, il modo gentile di parlare, per le sue idee che si accordano alle mie e che un giorno mi resero sereno". Queste cose possono Amato, in sé mutare o mutare per te. Così fatto un amore può disfarsi. E ancora non amarmi per la pietà che le mie guance asciuga. Può scordare il pianto chi ebbe a lungo il tuo conforto, e perdere così il tuo amore. Ma amami solo per amore dell’amore, che cresca in te, in un’eternità d’amore! " I love your verses with all my heart, dear miss Barrett "Era il 10 gennaio del 1845 quando il poeta Robert Browning scrisse la prima ardente lettera nella quale dichiarava tutta la sua ammirazione ad Elizabeth Barrett, la poetessa inglese definita in patria la Shakespeare al femminile. Cominciò così la loro romantica storia d’amore, che sembra uscire direttamente dalle pagine di un romanzo ottocentesco, con la corrispondenza durata un anno, il padre ostile e severo, il matrimonio celebrato segretamente, la fuga in Italia, la nascita del figlio. Fino ad allora, per circa quarant’anni, la vita di Elizabeth, in seguito ad una caduta da cavallo, alla tragica morte per annegamento del fratello, ad una malattia di cui mai ben chiarite furono le cause, forse fisiche, forse psicologiche, era trascorsa in modo grigio ed immobile, sotto la tirannia paterna, in una strana dimora fiabesca, fra pareti silenziose, in una stanza buia dalle imposte ben serrate, tra medicine e libri impolverati, con la sola compagnia dell’inseparabile cagnolino Flush e dell’appassionato bisogno di leggere e studiare, curiosamente incoraggiato e consentito dall’austero padre.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways." Elizabeth Barrett Browning was an English poet, political thinker, and feminist. She was born on March 6, 1806 in Durham England during the Victorian era. Elizabeth was the eldest of twelve children born to Edward and Mary Moulton-Barrett. Her father made most of his fortune from the Jamaican sugar plantations enabling him to buy a huge estate where Elizabeth lived a privileged childhood which included private education. She was fluent in Latin and Greek and able to read many languages. Elizabeth was an avid reader, particularly enjoying the literary work of philosopher's Voltaire and Rousseau, and the feminist Mary Wollstonecraft. She was highly intelligent, determined, and dedicated to becoming a poet.She had written odes by the age of nine. Elizabeth Barrett Browning is best known for her series of Love Sonnets from the Portuguese, dedicated to her husband and written in secret before her marriage. Barrett's treatment of social injustice such as the slave trade in America, the oppression of Italians by the Austrians, the labour of children in the mines and mills of England, and the restrictions placed on women, is seen in many of her poems. Two of her poems, "Casa Guidi Windows" and "Poems for Congress" dealt directly with the Italian fight for independence. Her longest and most ambitious "Aurora Leigh" also dealt with social injustice, but its subject was the subjugation of women to the dominating male and addresses the concerns of the female artist.

Pen Browning Bio Childhood Elizabeth Barrett was born into a multimillionaire (in modern terms) family whose fortune came from Jamaican sugar plantations which were worked, of course, by slaves. Her girlhood was spent very happily at the family's stately home in Herefordshire, England. She was the eldest of twelve children, and from the beginning something of a child prodigy, highly intelligent, determined and dedicated to becoming a poet. She outclassed her brothers at Latin and Greek, and could soon read in the modern languages of French, Italian, and Portuguese. Poetry She wrote poetry from her earliest years, but at the age of 20 she began to interest wider literary circles. After the death of her mother in 1828, there followed many years of suffering and misfortune: deaths of brothers, a recurrence of her illness and the loss of the family fortune. Family disputes, adverse trading conditions and the end of slavery reduced the Barretts' income so drastically that the stately home had to be sold. There was, however, enough wealth left to support a very comfortable lifestyle in a fashionable area of London, 50 Wimpole Street. Her reputations as a poet and critic grew while she retreated to her sick room, unable to breathe in London's polluted air. Then one day she allowed

Send some poems to a friend - the love thought that counts! Poetry Classical FAQ News ... EZine Poems for the People - Poems by the People Elizabeth Barrett Browning An English poet widely read by her contemporaries, Elizabeth Barrett Browning was born the eldest of eleven children in Coxhoe Hall near Durham. The family moved to Hope End in Herefordshire in 1809 where Elizabeth spent her childhood. An avid reader, she was educated at home where her father gave her access to his classical library. Her first volume of poems was privately published when she was 14. She suffered from ill health for most of her life. Her mother died in 1828 and her father was forced to sell Hope End in 1832 during the Abolition movement with the result that the family moved to London. Ten years later Elizabeth was more or less an invalid, but used her confinement to write Poems (1844) which was celebrated by all and which led to her introduction by letter to the poet Robert Browning. She also became a good friend of Miss Mitford at this time. On 12 September 1846 she clandestinely married Browning, and moved immediately to Italy. They settled in Florence, in Casa Guidi where in 1849 she gave birth to a son, Robert Wiedeman Barrett Browning. Her health improved greatly during her years in Italy, allowing her to travel throughout Europe. By the time of the publication of Aurora Leigh, a poem dealing with the restrictions imposed on women by Victorian society, she was firmly established as a poet of distinction. In fact, most of her work expresses her concern for the liberal causes of her day, including the cause of Italian nationalism. The Sonnets from the Portuguese (1850) altered the conventions of the love sonnet by the use of a tone of playful humour. In the last years of her life she was influenced by the popular interest in spiritualism. The Poems Before Congress (1860), although written in her final years when her health was deteriorating, are said to contain some of her most forceful and beautiful lyrics.
