Sonnets From the Portuguese
de Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Sonnets to
the Portuguese are widely considered among the greatest cycle of
sonnets in the English language. This collection of love poems was
written between 1845-46 to fellow poet and her soon-to-be husband,
Robert Browning.
Originally, Browning had no intention
of publishing the poetry owing to its deeply personal subject matter,
but her husband convinced her to publish them in the 1850 edition of
her Poems. Originally, however, she was reportedly to have called the
collection Sonnets from the Bosnian but was convinced to change the
title to Sonnets from the Portuguese, also on her husband's
suggestion.
The Sonnets (as they are often called)
are interesting as far as their collectibility is concerned. They
were not originally published as a standalone work, but in Barrett's
first compilation of poetry, Poems. First published in 1844, it did
not contain the Sonnets initially. This distinction was to belong in
fact to the second edition of 1850, published in 2 octavo volumes by
Chapman and Hall in dark blue gilt cloth, making the second edition
of Poems more valuable and collectible than the first edition. This
is, of course, a rarity in the world of book collecting. The first
state contains the address for the publisher on the title page as
186, Strand, rather than 193, Piccaddilly.
The second edition of Poems (containing Sonnets from the Portuguese) is rather
uncommon, but will typically fetch $5,000 or more, depending on
condition.
