About this book

"Sonnets from the Portuguese" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning is a collection of 44 love sonnets written around 1845–1846 and published in 1850. Despite the title, these deeply personal poems are Browning's own work, not translations. The collection includes some of the most famous lines in English poetry, particularly Sonnet 43's opening: "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways." Initially hesitant to share such intimate verses, Browning published them under a misleading title to preserve privacy, creating an enduring masterpiece of romantic poetry.
