The Love Poems of Elizabeth and Robert Browning (PDF)

Born in Durham, in 1806, Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote The Battle of Marathon when she was only fourteen years old. Although her father supported her, by paying the printing fees for her An Essay on Mind (1826), he barred all twelve of his children from marrying. By thirty-nine years old, though, Elizabeth had begun a romance with Robert Browning.

Robert Browning was born six years after Elizabeth, in 1812 in London. When he was twenty-one he published Pauline: A Fragment of a Confession. After reading Elizabeth’s poetry he began a forbidden correspondence with her. In the fall of 1846 they eloped and moved to Casa Guide in Florence. While it was not a productive time for him, she wrote her famous Aurora Leigh. She reportedly died, amorously, in his arms in the summer of 1861.

Robert then moved with their only son to London. He wrote his most famous work, a ten-verse narrative of a Roman murder trial called The Ring and the Book, there in 1869. Twenty years later he died and was buried in the Poet’s Corner of Westminster Abbey.
