A review by pinkmooon
Aurora Leigh by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
4.0
I had planned to take quarantine as a time to read more slowly and therefore give myself the opportunity to THINK.
Still, I enjoyed this novel-in-verse too much to make a labour of it, even when the labour is to my benefit. A grand defence of poetry and aestheticism against its fiercest rival...Socialism? Barrett Browning writes wholly of the 19th century, of her time. Of course, the past is neither dead nor past, and her themes have left me ponder, her style inticing me to read more and again. When I am less lazy I will be back.
