5. SPECTRUM Biographies - Elizabeth Barrett Browning Elizabeth Barrett Browning was born at Coxhoe Hall, Durham, England on March 6, 1806. She was the first of eleven children born to Edward and Mary Barrett. http://www.incwell.com/Biographies/BrowningEB.html

Elizabeth Barrett Browning Researcher: Rachel Sahlman "How do I love thee, let me count the ways." These words, penned by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, are some of the most widely-known love lyrics in Victorian English poetry. Elizabeth Barrett Browning was born at Coxhoe Hall, Durham, England on March 6, 1806. She was the first of eleven children born to Edward and Mary Barrett. Browning was privately educated and spent much of her childhood in the country. It was a very happy childhood until Browning became seriously ill at age 15. She was virtually incapacitated as the result of a spinal injury and lung ailment. In 1832, Browning moved with her family to Sidmouth, Devon and then several years later to London. In 1833, Browning's translation of Prometheus Bound received high praise. After moving to London, Browning began publishing her own writings. Her first collection entitled The Seraphim and Other Poems was published in 1838, and her second volume Poems, by E. Barrett Barrett was published in 1844. The second volume was also published in the United States and included an introduction by Edgar Allan Poe. After the drowning death of her brother in the early 1840s, Browning became a virtual recluse. She did not want to meet anyone who did not belong to her close circle of friends, and she conducted most of her friendships through letters. However, in 1845, Browning received a telegram from the poet Robert Browning. The telegram read "I love your verses with all my hear, dear Miss Barrett. I do, as I say, love these books with all my heart - and I love you too." The two met several months later and fell in love. They wrote to each other daily and the letters from their courtship are a wonderful record of its progress. During this period, Browning composed her famous Sonnets from the Portuguese, which were published in 1850.

Her husband was Robert Browning Elizabeth was the eldest child of Edward Barrett Moulton (later Edward Moulton Barrett). Most of her girlhood was spent at a country house within sight of the Malvern Hills, in Worcestershire, where she was extraordinarily happy. At the age of 15, however, she fell seriously ill, probably as the result of a spinal injury, and her health was permanently affected. In 1832 the family moved to Sidmouth, Devon, and in 1836 they moved to London, where, in 1838, they took up residence at 50 Wimpole Street. In London she contributed to several periodicals, and her first collection, The Seraphim and Other Poems , appeared in 1838. For reasons of health, she spent the next three years in Torquay, Devon, but after the death by drowning of her brother, Edward, she developed an almost morbid terror of meeting anyone apart from a small circle of intimates.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning Elizabeth Barrett Browning was born as Elizabeth Barrett Moulton-Barrett, the eldest of twelve children of an autocratic father who forbade his children to marry. She studied Greek alongside her brother while a child, and began writing at a very young age, and published in her teens. She also in adolescence she developed the ill health (the causes or illnesses involved in which are still not determined) that affected the remainder of her life; from that time she lived the secluded life of an invalid. The abolition of slavery in 1833, in which she rejoiced, substantially decreased her father's income from his Jamaican plantations and led to the sale of the family home in the country, after which the family moved to London. Barrett's 1844 Poems led to a two-year correspondence with Robert Browning (who was mentioned in them). They married secretly in 1846 and a few days left for Florence, where they were able to live on her independent income. Her health improved significantly after this point. She traveled, bore a son, and, despite her lasting grief after the drowning of her favourite brother in 1840 and her father's adamant refusal to see her after her elopement, continued her career as one of the most prominent poets of her time. After moving to Italy, Barrett Browning increasingly took up contemporary issues and debates including the Italian Nationalist cause, the abolition of slavery in the United States, and the position of women in Victorian society in such publications as

While still a child she showed her poetic gift, and her father published 50 copies of a juvenile epic, on the Battle of Marathon. At the age of 15 she fell off a horse, injuring her spine. This accident confined her to a recumbent position for several years, and she never fully recovered from the effects of this. Elizabeth would pass a lot of time writing poetry in a darkened room.  Her early volumes of poetry such as “The Seraphim and Other Poems” (1838) (including "Cowper's Grave.") and “The Cry of Children” received wide critical acclaim and she became one of the most respected female poets, she was even mentioned as a successor to Wordsworth as Poet Laureate.  In 1845 she met for the first time her future husband, Robert Browning Their courtship and marriage were carried out under somewhat peculiar and romantic circumstances. Her father Mr Barrett ruled his family with extraordinary control, forbidding any of his 12 children to marry. Therefore the couple had to marry in private and make a secret departure from her home to go and live in Italy. Her romance and marriage with Robert Browning helped Elizabeth tremendously, contributing to an improvement in her health.Â

Following a riding accident, which made her an invalid, her family moved to 50 Wimpole Street in London in 1838. It was here that she first met fellow poet Robert Browning on May 20th 1845. They soon fell in love and began to correspond regularly. However, her tyrannical father would not allow her to marry - so in 1846 she and Browning famously eloped. Elizabeth left England accompanied by her maid Wilson and with her beloved spaniel, Flush. The couple reached Italy in October 1846 and set up residence at to Casa Guidi in Florence where she lived until her death in 1861.

Elizabeth Moulton-Barrett was born March 6, 1806 at Coxhoe Hall, Durham, England, the eldest of 12 children of an autocratic father who forbade his children to marry. The family fortune came from Jamaican sugar plantations worked, of course, by slaves. Her girlhood was spent very happily at the family's stately home in Herefordshire, England. Elizabeth was educated at home, learning Greek, Latin, and several modern languages, including Portuguese, at an early age. She began writing very young, and in 1819, her father arranged for the printing of one of her poems (she was 13 at the time.) At 15 she was faced with the limitations of being a woman while her brothers were sent away for their education. Loneliness, loss and frustration perhaps predisposed her to physical illness some virus infection, a chronic lung ailment, then measles and continuing spasms of pain and fever. In 1821, Elizabeth injured her spine as a result of a fall. She recovered after more than a year, but was never again in robust health. After the death of her mother 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 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. Her reputations as a poet and critic grew while she retreated to her sick room, unable to breathe in London's polluted air.
