Edward was an heir to plantations in Jamaica and Mary was the daughter of a wealthy merchant. The family (including all twelve Barrett children) resided in Hope End, a new mansion in Herefordshire, England. At the early age of eight, Elizabeth wrote On the Cruelty of Forcement to Man. When her brother became outraged, Elizabeth successfully convinced her father to let her join her brother's Greek and Latin lessons. At the age of fourteen she wrote her first story, The Battle of Marathon , an epic in twelve books, which was privately printed in fifty copies. From an early age, Elizabeth was interested in writing, and learning. She read the works of Stendhal and Mary Wollsencraft, whose feminist writings influenced Elizabeth's life and work. Her family encouraged her in her chosen occupation as a poet, and Elizabeth herself wanted public recognition for her writing. The Brownings eventually settled in Florence at Casa Guidi, where at the age of forty-three Elizabeth bore her first son. During this time she also published a volume of poems that included The Cry of Children and Lady Geraldine's Courtship. These poems were so highly regarded, that in 1850 Elizabeth Barrett Browning was recommended as the successor to Wordsworth as poet laureate of England. Other works include Sonnets from the Portuguese, generally hailed as her best and Casa Guidi Windows, which expressed her sympathy for the unification of Italy. Aura Leigh, her longest and most ambitious work, is a romantic poem in which Elizabeth addresses the plight of the female artist and a woman's right to intellectual freedom. Elizabeth died a year after the fifth edition of Aurora Leigh was published and she was buried in the Protestant cemetery in Florence. In 1862, Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Last Poems was published posthumously.

Elizabeth Browning was considered seriously for the laureateship that eventually was awarded to Tennyson in 1850. Her greatest work, SONNETS FROM THE PORTUGUESE (1850), is a sequence of love sonnets addresses to her husband. Browning's vivid intelligence and ethereal physical appearance made a lifelong impression to Ruskin, Carlyle, Thackeray, Rossetti, Hawthorne, and many others. "What do we give to out beloved? A little faith all undisproved A little dust to overweep, And bitter memories to make The whole earth blasted for our sake. He giveth His beloved, sleep." (from 'The Sleep') Elizabeth Barrett Moulton-Barrett was born at Coxhoe Hall, near Durham. Her father was Edward Moulton-Barrett, whose wealth was derived from sugar plantations in the British colony of Jamaica. Mary Graham-Clarke, her mother, came from a family with similar commercial interests. Elizabeth grew up in the west of England and was largely educated at home by a tutor, quickly learning French, Latin and Greek. Both parents supported her early writing and many of her birthday odes to her parents and siblings still survive. At the age of 14, she wrote her first collection of verse, THE BATTLE OF MARATHON. It was followed by AN ESSAY ON MIND (1826), privately printed at her father's expense. Her translation of PROMETHEUS BOUND (1833) with other poems appeared anonymously. Browning's first work to gain critical attention was THE SERAPHIM, AND OTHER POEMS (1838).

I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
