Blurb: Sonnets from the Portuguese is a collection of forty-four love poems written to Robert Browning by Elizabeth Barrett Browning during their courtship. Apparently, they were not shown to him until three years after their marriage.
The poems are beautiful and lyrical verses that express love, fear, and doubts. Love came late into Miss Barrett's life, and at a time she wasn't expecting it.
