Synopsis

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.' Elizabeth Barrett Browning defied her father's wishes to marry Robert Browning, and this sonnet cycle is a beautiful and memorable testament to the love they found together. The sonnets are full of intimate moments, yet never lose sight of the bigger things in life - devotion, fidelity and the inevitability of being finally parted by death. This sequence of poems can lay claim to being the only sonnet cycle in English which reflects requited, married love.
