About Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806â€“1861) is generally considered the greatest of English poetesses. She was well educated for a woman of her time at home, being confined to bed by a lung complaint, possibly tuberculosis. The appearance of her Poems in 1844 attracted the attention of Robert Browning, who courted her in secret before eloping with her to Italy. There Elizabethâ€™s health improved and she threw herself into politics, becoming a pioneer of early liberal movements.
