BROWNING, Elizabeth Barrett (1806-1861). Poems. London: Chapman & Hall, 1850.
Second edition, but the first to include the celebrated ‘Sonnets from the Portuguese’. This set includes the half-titles, and shows the publisher’s imprint in the second state as usual. Composed during her courtship with Robert Browning, the sequence of 43 sonnets — including the famous poem beginning ‘How do I love thee? Let me count the ways’ — was masked as a translation in order to conceal their intimate content. Wise 7.
2 volumes, octavo (170 x 105mm). Half-titles (very occasional spotting, nicks in 2 margins, the text-block splitting in places). Publisher’s blue cloth, covers blind-stamped, spine gilt-lettered (upper hinges split but holding, spines faded, lightly soiled). Provenance: Jarrold & Sons, Norwich (bookseller’s label).
