The Barretts, a wealthy family of nine siblings, live in London under the strict rule of their widowed father, Edward. He is a tyrannical and puritanical patriarch who forbids his children from disobeying him, threatening to banish them if they do. The family's youngest daughter, Henrietta, secretly loves Captain Cook, while the oldest daughter, Elizabeth, a published poet, is confined to her bedroom due to her poor health. Elizabeth's only joys are her relationships with her siblings, servants, and correspondence with fellow poet Robert Browning. As Elizabeth's health improves, she meets Browning and falls in love with him.
