Description
Aurora Leigh is a richly detailed verse-novel that offers a unique glimpse into the early Victorian age. Spanning the social spectrum from the slums of London to the upper classes, the work features a range of satirical portraits, including a devout Christian socialist, a radical amateur, and a society beauty. At its heart, however, is the narrator, Aurora Leigh, whose life and ideas are explored in depth. From her early years in Italy to her vocational struggles and emotional entanglements, Aurora Leigh grapples with fundamental questions about art, love, God, and society. This annotated edition provides a wealth of valuable features, including expert introductions and helpful notes, making it an ideal choice for readers seeking a nuanced understanding of this important work.
