The Runaway Slave at Pilgrim's Point

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Elizabeth Barrett Browning (March 6, 1806 – June 29, 1861) was one of the most respected poets of the Victorian era. In 1826, she published her first collection of poems, An Essay on Mind and Other Poems. Its publication drew the attention of a blind scholar of the Greek language, Hugh Stuart Boyd, and that of another Greek scholar, Uvedale Price; with both men she maintained a scholarly correspondence.

Elizabeth continued to write, contributing to various periodicals "The Romaunt of Margaret", "The Romaunt of the Page", "The Poet's Vow", and other pieces, and she corresponded with literary figures of the time, including Mary Russell Mitford. In 1838, The Seraphim and Other Poems appeared, the first volume of Elizabeth's mature poetry to appear under her own name. The publication in 1843 of The Cry of the Children gave the former publication a great impulse, and about the same time she contributed some critical papers in prose to Richard Henry Horne's A New Spirit of the Age.

In 1844, she published two volumes of Poems, which included "A Drama of Exile", "A Vision of Poets", and "Lady Geraldine's Courtship". The verse-novel Aurora Leigh, her most ambitious and perhaps most popular of her longer poems, appeared in 1856. It is the story of a woman writer making her way in life, balancing work and love.

Among Barrett Browning's best known lyrics is Sonnets from the Portuguese (1850) - "the Portuguese" being her husband's pet name for her – to disguise the work as translations, as a means to depersonalise the work. - Wikipedia
