Elizabeth Barrett Browningâs classic poem, read by Diana Quick.
Written in blank verse, Aurora Leigh is Browningâs self-styled ânovel in verseâ, a first-person narration of the lives of Marian Erle and the eponymous Aurora. Travelling across Florence, London, and Paris, and playing off the works of Anne Louise Germaine de StaĂ«l and George Sand, Aurora Leigh is one of the greatest poems of the nineteenth century.
