A review by novabird
Aurora Leigh by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
4.0
“A cheerful genius suits the times, / And all true poets laugh unquenchably / Like Shakespeare and the gods.”
An ambitious and lovely book about a Victorian woman author struggling with her identity while attempting to balance her love interests.
This was an enchantingly well=painted picture of Victorian life. No matter how artfully conversant we can be, there are still more than ample opportunities for misunderstanding and missed chances. The tension of these human foibles is wonderfully rendered amongst lush greenery of well described. I had the feeling of reading while being under a great tree on a most perfect summer day.
