Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Aurora Leigh" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning is a verse novel published in 1856. Written in blank verse across nine books, it follows Aurora's journey from childhood in Florence to her struggles as a poet in London. When her cousin Romney proposes marriage but dismisses her artistic ambitions, Aurora refuses him and pursues her literary dreams independently. The narrative interweaves Aurora's story with that of Marian Erle, a working-class woman whose fate becomes entangled with Romney's idealistic social reforms, exploring themes of art, gender, and social class in Victorian society.
