sonnets from the portuguese

Sonnets from the Portuguese is a collection of love sonnets, written by Elizabeth Browning. The sonnets are dedicated to her husband Robert Browning. At first, Elizabeth did not want to publish the poems, fearing they were too personsal. Robert, insisting they were the best sonnet sequence in the English language since Shakespeare's time, would have none of that, so he suggsted that she publish them under a title deliberately misleading readers to think tha they were actually translations of Portuguese sonnets. Of note also is that Robert used to call her "my little Portuguese". The most famous of the sonnets is sonnet 43 - "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways".
