Reviews for Aurora Leigh

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The story of a woman's Wordsworthian search for her poetic voice. All the while, Browning gives the reader glimpses into 19th century society: gender norms, social concerns, politics, the role of art in society, and the responsibilities of the artist. Browning's language charms even at its less-than pristine moments.
