Aurora Leigh A Poem
Aurora Leigh is an expansive epic poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, published in 1856. Often considered a "novel in verse," this monumental work follows the journey of its eponymous heroine, a female poet, as she navigates societal expectations, artistic ambition, and personal relationships in Victorian England. It profoundly explores themes of women's independence, social reform, and the role of art in an unjust world.
