Sonnets from the Portuguese (version 2) cover

Sonnets from the Portuguese (version 2)

Rate this audiobook

Sonnets from the Portuguese chronicles one of the most famous romances in history. The renowned Victorian poet Elizabeth Barrett wrote the sonnet sequence during her courtship by Robert Browning, and later presented them to him as a wedding gift. Robert was astounded by the quality of the poetry, and encouraged her to publish, but Elizabeth objected on the grounds that the content was too personal. At last, Robert prevailed, and Elizabeth published her sonnets. The title of the book comes from a joke between Robert and Elizabeth Browning. Elizabeth was too embarrassed to publish the sonnets as a personal chronicle, so she decided to pretend they were a translation from a foreign language. Robert’s nickname for her was “My Little Portuguese” due to her dark hair and olive complexion, and so the sequence was forever known as “Sonnets from the Portugese.” (Summary by Kirsten Ferreri)     [chương_files]

Pamphilia to Amphilanthus is the first sonnet sequence written by an Englishwoman. Published in 1621, the poems invert the usual format of sonnet sequences by making the speaker a woman (Pamphilia, whose name means “all-loving”) and the beloved a man (Amphilanthus, whose name means “lover of two.”). It is possible that Wroth based the story on her own fraught relationship with her cousin, William Herbert. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett.)     [chương_files]

Jacob Winkler Prins reisde veel en was een schilder. Hij besteedde veel tijd aan heide-ontginning op de Veluwe, om bloemen en planten te kunnen kweken. Als een auteur-schilder schreef hij realistische natuurpoëzie, geinspireerd door Shelley. Deze verzameling van 102 sonnetten was de eerste dichtbundel die hij publiceerde, na zowel onder het pseudoniem Kaspar Brandt als onder eigen naam romannen en verhalen gepubliceerd te hebben. Uit zijn gedichten blijkt duidelijk dat hij met een schilders-oog de wereld om hem heen bekeek en beschreef, en hij ziet de schoonheid in simpele dingen. Summary by Foon     [chương_files]
