A series of love poems penned by Elizabeth Barrett Browning to her husband, Robert Browning, showcases deep emotional expression and personal devotion. Written between 1845 and 1846, these sonnets reflect her initial hesitations and Robert's encouragement for publication, cleverly framed as translations to enhance their appeal. By employing the traditional sonnet form, Browning not only honors the legacy of Shakespeare but also asserts her status as a leading poet of the nineteenth century.
