This volume will provide students with an introduction to the
poetry and life of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, one of the most
popular poets of her day in Britain and America and who has become
one of the great icons of Victorianism for the modern age. The
authors present a biographical survey, study of her poetry, its
critical reception and an assessment of her influence on later
poets. This book also examines the complex 'myths' which are
associated with Elizabeth Barrett Browning and offers re-readings
of her life and work, particularly in dispelling the myth of the
ailing invalid poet-recluse and instead showing her to be one of
the great intellectuals of her day, immersed in European history
and politics from a very early age. The book situates Browning
within broader historical,political and cultural contexts than have
yet been examined enabling a better understanding of her poetry and
paints the portrait of a fine and innovative poet, an intellectual
and an astute political thinker.
