DOWNLOAD EBOOKLARGE PRINT EDITION. Sonnets from the Portuguese (1850) is a collection of sonnets by English poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Written between 1845 and 1846, Sonnets from the Portuguese is a series of love poems written by Browning to her husband, the prominent Victorian poet Robert Browning. Although Elizabeth was initially unsure of the poems, Robert encouraged their publication, suggesting she title them to make readers believe they were translations and not personal declarations of love between the couple. Using the sonnet, Browning adopted a traditional form made famous by Shakespeare while staking a claim for herself as one of nineteenth century England's premier poets. Filled with references to the Greek pastoral poet Theocritus and the tragic figure Electra, as well as invocations to God, Sonnets from the Portuguese immerses itself in biblical and classical tradition while remaining deeply personal and authentically romantic. Sonnet "XV" addresses the inherent tragedy of love, the depth of sadness with which a lover beholds another with "Too calm and sad a face," overwhelmed with the knowledge that with love comes "the end of love, / Hearing oblivion beyond memory." In sonnet "XXVIII," Browning reflects on the distance between lovers kept apart: all she has of him are her letters, "all dead paper, mute and white!" And yet, "they seem alive and quivering" in her "tremulous hands," a living reminder of the man she longs to be with. "XLIII," the most famous sonnet of the collection, begins "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways," and records the poet's confession of a love more powerful than "the passion put to use / In [her] old griefs..." Not only has her lover brought her such joy, he has also given her a love she "seemed to lose / With [her] lost saints," a love strong enough to transcend religious faith entirely, a love that is destined to last, and to be even "better after death." With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Sonnets from the Portuguese is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA prime candidate for Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom, Elizabeth Barrett Browning was just as famous for her relationship with Robert Browning as for her work. Breaking through in a field that had previously been dominated by men, she was mentioned on terms equal with contemporaries like her husband and William Wordsworth. In fairness, Elizabeth Browning was never in particularly good health as an adult and would die of an unidentified illness just eleven years after Tennyson's appointment. Though hampered by poor health, personal tragedies, and conflict with her father, she battled through to create a body of work that is still widely read today. Invigorated by bright emotions as well as social awareness, Browning's work is thoughtful and mature. The famed series of poems included in this book were written to her husband, Robert Browning.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow is this book unique? Font adjustments & biography included Unabridged (100% Original content) Illustrated About Sonnets from the Portuguese by Elizabeth Barrett Browning Elizabeth Barrett Browning was a prolific writer and reviewer in the Victorian period, and in her lifetime, her reputation as a poet was at least as great as that of her husband, poet Robert Browning. Some of her poetry has been noted in recent years for strong feminist themes, but the poems for which Elizabeth Barrett Browning is undoubtedly best know are Sonnets from the Portuguese. Written for Robert Browning, who had affectionately nicknamed her his "little Portuguese," the sequence is a celebration of marriage, and of one of the most famous romances of the nineteenth century. Recognized for their Victorian tradition and discipline, these are some of the most passionate and memorable love poems in the English language. There are forty-four poems in the collection, including the very beautiful sonnet, "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways."

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Few poetic forms have found more uses than the sonnet in English, and none is now more recognizable. It is one of the longest-lived of verse forms, and one of the briefest. A mere fourteen lines, fashioned by intricate rhymes, it is, as Dante Gabriel Rossetti called it, "a moment's monument." From the Renaissance to the present, the sonnet has given poets a superb vehicle for private contemplation, introspection, and the expression of passionate feelings and thoughts." "The Art of the Sonnet collects one hundred exemplary sonnets of the English language (and a few sonnets in translation), representing highlights in the history of the sonnet, accompanied by short commentaries on each of the poems. The commentaries by Stephen Burt and David Mikics offer new perspectives and insights, and, taken together, demonstrate the enduring as well as changing nature of the sonnet. The authors serve as guides to some of the most-celebrated sonnets in English as well as less-well-known gems by nineteenth- and twentieth-century poets. Also included is a general introductory essay, in which the authors examine the sonnet form and its long and fascinating history, from its origin in medieval Sicily to its English appropriation in the sixteenth century to sonnet writing today in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other English-speaking parts of the world." --Book Jacket.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDifferentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-(Sonnets from the Portuguese) is a collection of love poems by the English writer Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861), published within the 1850 anthology: Poems (Poems). The Portuguese Sonnets cycle was written between 1845 and 1846, and consists of 44 magnificent sonnets, probably the best love poems by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. It is said that, at the beginning, Elizabeth Barrett Browning was reluctant to publish the collection, considering it too personal. However, her husband, the poet Robert Browning, insisted that it was the best English poetic cycle since William Shakespeare's sonnets, and finally convinced her to publish it. All the poems of Sonnets of Portuguese reflect the sentimental relationship between Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Robert Browning.To soften the intimate character of the work, and especially to hide their identities as main sources of the poems, the author decided to give her an ambiguous title, as if they were actually translations of Portuguese sonnets. The book was finally titled: Sonnets from the Portuguese. The play was effective, since for many years it was thought that those love sonnets had really been translated from Portuguese.
