    Sinopse

    Elizabeth Barrett Browning was such an acclaimed poet in her own lifetime that she was suggested as a candidate for the Poet Laureateship when Wordsworth died in 1850. Yet today we have only a limited knowledge of her considerable life’s work as a poet, in part because of a lack of representative but accessible editions of her work.

Recent critical re-readings, including major feminist reassessments, of her poetry are covered in the introduction, with helpful suggestions for f
