In this study, Simon Avery considers a range of her poems, drawn from across her career, in order to examine the concern with the search for a meaningful home which underpins much of her writing. In a series of interrelated Chapters on Barrett Browning's religious poetry, love poetry, political poetry, and her major work, Aurora Leigh, he explores the ways in which the speakers and protagonists of her poems constantly search for a place of security and stability even though this often seems finally unattainable. Attention is also given to Barrett Browning's own search for a home in relation to inherited poetic models and traditions, and her establishment of an often radical poetics. --Book Jacket. 600 10 $a Browning, Elizabeth Barrett, $d 1806-1861 $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Women and literature $z England $x History $y 19th century. 830 0 $a Writers and their work. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180403031810.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4B7790046B5511E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
