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

Biography of Elizabeth Barrett Browning Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1809 - 1861) Mrs Browning was born in London, England, in 1809, and she died at Casa Guidi, Florence, June 29, 1861. Her father, Mr. Barrett, was an English country gentleman. Possessing some means, he helped his daughter to acquire an excellent classical education; and, possessing considerable ability, he became, as she says, her public and her critic. "Her studies were early directed to the poets of antiquity, and, under the guidance of her blind tutor, Boyle, whose name she always warmly cherished, she mastered the rich treasures of AEschylus. The sublime Grecian possessed for her a charm which was only equaled by the fascination held over her wondering spirit by Shakespeare." While she was profoundly versed in Greek literature, and intimately acquainted with all the Attic writers in tragedy and comedy, she was thoroughly versed in pure and undefiled English. In her extensive correspondence with contemporaries, she shows a thorough knowledge of English literature, from Chaucer to her own time. Physically she was very delicate, but nature made up for her fragile frame by giving her a superior mental and spiritual organization. Miss Mitford, her intimate friend, describes her as a "slight, delicate figure, with a shower of dark curls falling on each side of a most expressive face, large tender eyes, richly fringed by dark eyelashes, and a smile like a sunbeam." Such, in brief, is a description of the attainments and person of the lady who, according to E. C. Stedman, was not only "the greatest female poet that England has produced, but more than this, the most inspired woman so far as known, of all who have composed in ancient or modern tongues or flourished in any land or clime."

Elizabeth Barrett Browning Biography The most romantic poet of all time, Elizabeth Barrett Browning was born in 1806, in Hope End. She was the oldest of 12 children under Edward and Mary Moultan Barrett. They owned a Jamaican sugar plantation, worked by slaves. Elizabeth, nick-named Ba, was very intelligent and dedicated to becoming a poet. During the early 1800's women were not educated as well as men were so when her brothers were sent away to school her and her sisters remained at home. At 15 years of age she and two of her sisters caught a strange disease. They recovered much faster than Elizabeth did. She thought she was very ill and was sent away to a spa in Gloucester. There she became addicted to Launanun, a mixture of dissolved opium in alcohol, which was meant to help her sleep. Elizabeth had started writing poetry at age 8 and by the time she was 20, she had 3 pieces published. Most things she published were paid for by her father. In 1828 her mother died and Elizabeth suffered greatly. Her widower father possessively forbids his children to marry and Elizabeth promises her self not to. In 1832, due to slave rebellion the plantation fell, along with the families finances. They moved out of their estate into a comfortable house in Sidmouth, Devonshire, where Elizabeth's health improves slightly through walks along the water. In 1935 the family moved to London and Elizabeth saw this as her chance to meet with literary giants, which she did. Unfortunately her health took a turn for the bad and she had too move to a warmer climate. She became depressed and writing helped her get through it.

She was a fairly precocious child, reading voraciously, writing odes at age nine, and learning Greek along with Bro, her favorite brother. At 15, Elizabeth, along with her sisters Henrietta and Arabel, contracted some sort of disease. Elizabeth was much slower to recover for some reason, and it was around then that she started talking about her chronic ill health and a myriad of strange symptoms . She went to a spa in Gloucester, becoming addicted to laudanum (prescribed to help her sleep) and staying a little over a year, long past the point when her doctor was telling her to go home . But she never let anything stop her from reading and writing. In 1826, she had a poetic "Essay on Mind" published, at family expense, along with 14 shorter poems. By this time, she had firmly decided that marriage was awful and not for her; her life would be completely devoted to poetry.
