Elizabeth Barrett began writing Sonnets from the Portuguese while being courted by Robert Browning, and it is the work that gained her recognition as a poet of great depth and distinction. She resisted having such personal writings published but relented at Robert’s urgings and only under the condition that her name not appear on them. Robert Browning called her “my little Portuguese” because of her dark coloring, and the name was used to mask the author's identity.
