Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806- 1861) was an English poet of the Victorian era who garnered significant renown in both Britain and the United States. Browning began writing poetry from the age of eleven and her early work, kept safe by her mother, constitutes one of the largest collections of juvenilia in existence. Her poetry collection "Poems" (1844) brought her popular acclaim, as well the attention of Robert Browning. Fearing her father's disapproval, the two corresponded and eventually in secret. Browning had a significant influence on many writers of her day, including Emily Dickinson and Edgar Allan Poe. Other notable works by this writer include: "How Do I Love Thee?" (1845) and "Aurora Leigh" (1856). Ragged Hand is proud to be publishing this brand new collection of classic poetry now complete with illustrations by Archibald Thorburn and an excerpt by John Burroughs.
