- "In the last generation Elizabeth Barrett Browning tried to be versatile and to go beyond the artistic limitations of her sex, but she made the same respectable blunder that Mrs. Humphry Ward has made in this. She attempted all sorts of poetry and achieved merit without greatness... Mrs. Browning never wrote but one great poem, her little volume of Sonnets from the Portuguese that she wrote to Mr. Browning when she loved him first."
