Classic novel in verse

I’m so glad this is still in print. I loved reading it again.

Novel in verse

It's a sort of novel in verse, so if you don't like poetry this book might not be for you. However, this is poetry at a very high level and the story, though probably a bit slow by modern standards, has some interesting twists.

Why Aurora Leigh today

6 personas la encontraron útil

Victorian literature is dry

It's classic, but drawn out and dry. The story however is a great one of female liberation from the shackling culture of 19th century England.

Nice copy of an excellent work

Barrett Browning's Aurora Leigh deserves a beautiful print edition, Oxford World's Classics has provided it. Accompanied with a great introduction by Kerry McSweeny, this edition of Barrett Browning's novel-poem is great for both studying and perusing.
