    • Das Leben von Elizabeth Barrett Browning glich einem viktorianischen Roman: Mit 40 Jahren verliebte sich die Engländerin in den sechs Jahre jüngeren Dichter Robert Browning. Sie heirateten heimlich, brannten durch und fanden ihr gemeinsames Glück in Florenz. Die 44 Sonette, die sie in dieser Zeit verfasste, veröffentlichte sie 1850 unter dem Titel »Sonette aus dem Portugiesischen«. Niemand sollte wissen, dass es sich dabei um eine persönliche Liebeserklärung handelte. Die gefühlvollen Verse wurden von Rainer Maria Rilke ins Deutsche übertragen.
