Browning

Mrs. Browning was born as Elizabeth Barrett on the sixth of March in 1806. She was one of twelve children to her parents, Edward Barrett Moulton-Barrett and Mary Graham Clarke. Her father owned multiple sugar plantations in Jamaica, which sustained this large English family. She has sustained multiple major injuries during her lifetime, which included issues with her lungs and breathing as well as a major spinal injury. She usually wrote in Romanticism. She also wrote usually in sonnets. She met her future husband, Robert Browning, and talked to him in secret for her father did not want her to get wed. Later in life, about twenty years before her death, she had her first and only child: a little boy by the name of Robert Wideman Browning. She then moved to Italy with her newfound family. There she continued writing with her husband. She soon started to focus on more philosophical and political topics. This did lose her a lot of readers, however it also encouraged others to speak out. She laid her head down for the final time in Florence, Italy on June 29, 1861.
