Aurora Leigh
Aurora Leigh - an epic poem (also classified as a poem by a poem) of the nineteenth-century English poetess Elizabeth Barrett Browning, published in 1857. The poem used the first-person narrative. He is to some extent autobiographical. It was written in a white verse (blank verse). It has about 11,000 verses. Fragments of the poem were translated into Polish by Ludmiła Marjańska. OF writing many books there is no end; And I who have written much in prose and verse For others’ uses, will write now for mine,— Will write my story for my better self, As when you paint your portrait for a friend, Who keeps it in a drawer and looks at it Long after he has ceased to love you, just To hold together what he was and is. The poem did not enjoy critical acclaim. However, he enjoyed popularity among readers. Bibliography wiki
