Aurora Leigh (1856), Elizabeth Barrett Browning's epic novel in blank verse, tells the story of the making of a woman poet, exploring 'the woman question', art and its relation to politics and social oppression. The texts in this selection are based in the main on the earliest printed versions of the poems. What Edgar Allan Poe called 'her wild and magnificent genius' is abundantly in evidence. In addition to Aurora Leigh, this volume contains poetry from the several volumes of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's published poetry from 1826 to 1862, including Casa Guidi Windows (1851), Songs for the Ragged Schools of London (1854) and the British Library manuscript text of the 'Sonnets from the Portuguese' (1846) which records her courtship with Robert Browning.

The love letters of Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett remain among the most famous in history. Daniel Karlin's selection, based on a fresh examination of the original manuscripts, provides new insight into the clandestine correspondence which led to their elopement in 1846. They poured the full resources of their minds and hearts into these complex and subtle letters, as they explored each others needs, desires, passions, and anxieties. Together, the letters tell the enthralling story of how they waited many years to elope, overcoming many obstacles such as the neurotic presence of Elizabeth Barrett's father and the intense demands they made on one another. This volume allows the reader to follow the story in all its scope and richness.
