 | | Elizabeth Barrett Browning (Moulton) (March 6, 1806 – June 29, 1861) was a member of the Barrett family and the most respected poetess of the Victorian era. |
 | | She was born at Cohnadatia Hall (now demolished) near Durham, England in 1806, the daughter of Edward Barrett, who assumed the last name on succeeding to the estates of his grandfather in Jamaica. |
 | | Mary Russell Mitford thus describes her as a young woman: "A slight, delicate figure, with a shower of dark curls falling on each side of a most expressive face; large, tender eyes, richly fringed by dark eyelashes, and a smile like a sunbeam." |
