Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Sonnets from the Portuguese

I once thought the title meant that Browning had translated these poems from some Portuguese poets.  The title actually refers to Robert Browning's nickname for her.  She was short & had a dark complexion, so he called her "My little Portuguese."
