A Washington Post 2021 Non-Fiction Book of the Year, the New York Times Review of Books Editors' Choice Non-Fiction Title, and a Longlisted for the 2022 PEN/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for Biography, Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Aurora Leigh are once again household names. Beautifully told, it is high time these two literary giants were recognized for their contributions to literature. Elizabeth Barrett Browning, known for her famous line "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways," defied her family's expectations by running away to Italy with Robert Browning. However, behind the romance of her extraordinary life lies a thoroughly modern figure who remains an electrifying study in self-invention. Born in 1806, a time when women were excluded from university education and voting rights, Elizabeth Barrett Browning achieved lasting literary fame. She remains Britain's greatest woman poet, inspiring writers from Emily Dickinson to George Eliot and Virginia Woolf. This vividly written biography, the first full study in over thirty years, incorporates recent archival discoveries to reveal the woman herself: a literary giant and a high-profile abolitionist who believed herself to have mixed heritage; and a writer who defied chronic illness and long-term disability to change the course of cultural history. It holds up a mirror to the woman, her art, and the art of biography itself.
