Sonnets from the Portuguese, is a downloadable audiobook collection of forty-four love sonnets by Elizabeth Barrett Browning read by the award winning English actress Jane Horrocks.
The collection was acclaimed and popular even in the poet's lifetime
and it remains so today. Elizabeth was initially hesitant to publish
the poems, feeling that they were too personal. However, Robert
insisted that they were the best sequence of English-language sonnets
since Shakespeare's time and urged her to publish them.
Jane Horrocks brings these poems to life in her own romantic and refreshing way for
Silksoundbooks. Available in MP3 and iPod audiobook format for just
£7.95 for immediate download.
