Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Brownings for the Young At the age of twelve Elizabeth Barrett Barrett (as she then was) had written an epic in four books on the battle of Marathon, and by the same age Robert Browning had produced an impassioned ode to a young lady, fifteen years his senior, besides much minor verse of various kinds. Both of them were insatiate readers of poetry. With both, it is interesting to observe, the prime favourite of their childhood was Pope´s translation of Homer; and though in later days their tastes and styles travelled far enough from Pope, they retained to the end the love of Greek literature which they had acquired thus early. Elizabeth Barrett´s first published volume of poetry appeared in 1826, Robert Browning´s in 1833 ;and the second publication of each of them (Miss Barrett´s "Seraphim," and Browning´s "Paracelsus"), secured them honourable prominence among the poets of the day. It was not until 1846 that they met, but long before that time they had known and admired each other´s poetry; and the acquaintance thus begun ripened rapidly into affection. They were married in 1849; and their marriage was followed by twelve years of perfect happiness, to which the only drawback was the frail condition of Mrs. Browning´s health. For many years before her marriage she had lived the life of an invalid, confined to her room, with apparently little prospect of ever regaining strength.
