ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING.
Perhaps one of the most distinguished figures in the broad realm on
English literature, or indeed, in any literature, is that of Elizabeth Barrett
Browning, who was born March 6, ISO 6, whose centenary has just passed.
It seems certain that as long as the English language lives, or even when its
literature shall have become classical, there can never be a resume of the
work done in its poetical fields without prominence being given to one who
stands to-day indisputably at the head of the woman poets of the lan
guage. To the verdict that Mrs. Browning is a great poet, and one who has
the patent royal to immortality, there has scarcely been a dissenting voice.
The most severe criticism to which her writings have been subjected is
founded on her own confession that they have “her life and soul in them,”
and it is claimed that the highest form of art is incompatible with the depict
ing of the genuine emotions of the soul. This point has always been a de
batable one with critics, and is still an open question. Paul Bougert has
recently written a philosophical novel with this question for its theme, and
although he endeavors to prove the negative side of it, Mrs. Browning’s life
is a strong argument on the affirmative. 'Still it is impossible to judge her
life, with its wonderful work, its depths of sorrow and of suffering, its
heights of joy and happiness, by the standard which measures ordinary
mortals.
From her earliest childhood Elizabeth Barrett seemed destined to fill a
unique place in the world, and one which has never been usurped. At the age
of eight years, and even earlier, she wrote verses, and at eleven she composed
a great epic called the “Battle of Marathon,” fifty copies of which were
printed by her father’s wish for distribution among his friends. Her love for
Pope’s Homer led her to the study of Greek, and as a very young girl she
became a finished classical scholar. When she was eighteen, her “Essay on
Mind and others Poems” was published, the chief poem (being much in the
style of Pope’s “Essay on Man.” The principle characteristics of this vol
ume was the wide range of reading it showed, and the marvelous power of
thought and expression displayed. Mrs. Browning afterwards rejected these
poems from her collected works, condemning them for what she termed their
“didactic pedantry,” and saying she would “as soon circulate a caricature
or lampoon on herself as that “Essay.” But these early effusions are never
reckoned when an estimate is made of her real power. The expression of
her thoughts was a necessity of her nature, and that this expression should
have been given to the world in the form of verse, was perhaps, the influence
of her vast reading, as well as the natural outcome of her unusual mind.
Then, too, because of her life of invalidism, shut away from the usual and
natural pursuits of a young girl; constantly thrown with people of learning
and culture, her inherent taste for study and books of every description was
intensified, and she wrote as naturally as most people talk.
It has been said that Mrs. Browning’s works were largely autobiographical,
and as even in the circumscribed sphere of her personal experiences there
was ample scope for the indulgence of the most intense emotions, it is not at
all unlikely that the reproduction of these emotions may be found in her poems.
Her nature was one in which deep affection held a paramount place,
and during her whole life she poured out the full richness of her soul on the
shrine of her family, and of a few dearly loved friends. Her love for her
brothers and sisters, and for her father (her mother died during her early
childhood) was of such a character that the impress of it was felt on her
whole career. The greatest grief of her life was the tragic death of her best
beloved brother, who was drowned near Torquay, while on a short pleasure
excursion. The family had gone to Torquay because the health of Eliza
beth demanded that she should live in a mild climate during the winter, and
the fact of the accident happening at that time, had a peculiarly depressing
effect upon her mind, for she 'blamed herself as the indirect cause of it, and
as long as she lived the mere mention of it gave her intense pain.
After this sad event her health grew rapidly worse, and it was feared
she would not live through the coming winter, as she was all her life ex
tremely susceptible to climatic conditions. But her mental strength seemed
to triumph over bodily weakness, and she gradually resumed her work, and
it was mainly through its medium that she finally struggled back to a
semblance of health.
During the years immediately succeeding her brother’s death she wrote
steadily, and her critics have said, too prolifically. One of her poems had
a singularly momentous influence on her life, and strange to say, it was a
poem in which she had expended but little effort, most of it being hurriedly
written to supply the demand of her publisher.
But this very poem—“ Lady Geraldine’s Courtship”—fell in to the
hands of Robt. Browning and attracted him most intensely; especially so
when he found in its pages a tribute to himself. He had recently published a
volume of poems under the title of “Bells and Pomegranates,” and in the
poem these lines appear;
