A review by sarahreadsaverylot
Aurora Leigh by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
3.0
Another case of the absent .5 star increment stifling my creativity and expression.
This is a great example of thoughtful and scholarly publishing making an old work relevant and accessible. High fives to Norton for moving beyond biography and getting into the meat of EBB's writing and not just harping on her personal life. The inclusion of relevant contemporary criticism as well as more recent scholarly essays made me sit up a bit straighter and get as much out of this work as I could. A refreshing presentation of a 'classic'.
