Last modified on Thu 25 Feb 2021 08.23 EST âHow do I love thee? Let me count the ways,â asked Elizabeth Barrett Browning in 1850, unwittingly turning herself from one of Britainâs pre-eminent poets into a Valentineâs card fixture. It wasnât just the words, which are still lovely, but the way they tend to be read in conjunction with the story of her clandestine courtship by fellow-poet Robert Browning. In 1846, after a year and a half of epistolary romance and secret meetings, young Browning famously burst into the 40-year-oldâs London sickroom and whisked her to Italy and a new life of sunshine, sex and lyric poetry. ....

by Fiona Sampson Review by Brian Morton Virginia Woolf said: “Fate has not been kind to Mrs Browning as a writer. Nobody reads her, nobody discusses her, nobody troubles to put her in her place.” One might argue that Mrs Woolf wasn’t very kind to her, either; when she turned her mind to Elizabeth Barrett Browning it was to write a biography of her dog Flush, and one wonders what, exactly, she means by “her place”. But the better part of a century later, her basic point is beyond argument. No-one reads EBB now; no-one reads poetry, whose public gamut starts with Armitage and ends with Zephaniah. Perhaps now and again, some young swain hoicks “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways” out of an online dictionary of quotations for Valentine’s Day, but that’s it. ....
A much-needed reassessment : Fiona Sampson restores Elizabeth Barrett Browning to her proper place Credit: Stock Montage/Getty When Wordsworth died in 1850 and the post of Poet Laureate became vacant, one name that was widely canvassed in the press as his replacement was that of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. In the end, the honour went to Tennyson; it would take until 2009 for the first woman, Carol Ann Duffy, to fill the post. That Barrett Browning was in the running says much about her status in her lifetime, though her literary reputation declined after her death. Her only poem that remains widely known today is the lyric “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways”; her magnum opus of 1856, Aurora Leigh, a book-length verse narrative about the life of a fictional woman writer, is largely unread except by academics. During the 20th century, she was sentimentally repackaged in the play The Barretts of Wimpole Street, which inspired more than one Hollywood treatment ....
by Fiona Sampson (Profile £20, 336 pp) During her lifetime, Elizabeth Barrett Browning was our most popular woman poet yet, today, even the most passionate poetry lover would struggle to quote more than a few lines of hers. If you re familiar with her story, it s probably because of The Barretts Of Wimpole Street. This 1930 play, which has been filmed three times, is an irresistible slice of melodrama about the romance between Elizabeth and the dashing poet Robert Browning a love affair which was opposed by her tyrannical father, who wanted Elizabeth all to himself. As the trailer for the 1957 version gasped, Behind the doors of a proud, respectable house surge the conflicts of dark, hidden passions! ....
