How the silence round you shivers, While our voices through it go, Cold and clear. A softer voice Think a little, while ye hear, Of the banks Where the willows and the deer Crowd in intermingled ranks, As if all would drink at once Flashing in and out the sedges; Of the swans on silver thrones, Floating down the winding streams With impassive eyes turned shoreward And the lotus leaning forward To help them into dreams. Fare ye well, farewell! The river-sounds, no longer audible, Each footstep of your treading Treads out some murmur which ye heard before. Farewell! the streams of Eden Ye shall hear nevermore! Bird-spirit I am the nearest nightingale That singeth in Eden after you; And I am singing loud and true, I sit upon a cypress bough, Close to the gate, and I fling my song Over the gate and through the mail Over the gate and after you! And the warden angels let it pass, Because the poor brown bird, alas

The widest land Doom takes to part us, leaves thy heart in mine With pulses that beat double. What I do And what I dream include thee, as the wine Must taste of its own grapes.

Dr. Karen A. Droisen Department of English University of Nevada, Las Vegas KDroisen@hotmail.com Elizabeth Barrett Browning 1806-1861 Introduction William Wordsworth P. B. Shelley Lord Byron and John Keats ) define this figure as masculine: their Romantic artist figures seek always to leave behind the feminine world of domesticity in search of Art. As you read the poem, pay attention to the ways in which Aurora Leigh appropriates the Romantic narrative, explores it, and comments on it by casting a female poet in the starring role. Consider the poem's genre and form as well as its content. Why does Barrett Browning use a hybrid form a "verse novel" rather than the verse lyric (as in the other poems we have read) or the novel itself? Consider, too, the form she chooses. Written in blank verse, Aurora Leigh invites us to compare it to other epics, particularly to its most recent antecedent, Wordsworth's Prelude (1850). Like Wordsworth, Barrett Browning takes, as the subject of the epic, the life of the poet, rather than heroic battles, the exploits of the gods, or, as John Milton did in

Dr. Karen A. Droisen Department of English University of Nevada, Las Vegas KDroisen@hotmail.com ENG 435/635: Victorian Poetry Laetitia Elizabeth Landon (L. E. L.) 1802-1838 and Elizabeth Barrett Browning 1806-1861 Assignment These poems explore the problematic authority of female authors. Women began to enter the literary marketplace in significant numbers during the 18th and 19th centuries, but given the historical context As you read these poems, consider what they have to say directly and indirectly about female authorship. Landon's elegy for fellow poet Felicia Hemans takes literary critics and the reading public to task for failing to appreciate Hemans' work. Consider how the style of Landon's poem relates to its subject: how are form and content intertwined? Barrett Browning's meditation on Landon's elegy a poem about another poem about a poet implicitly constructs a tradition of female writing. How does its form relate to its content? Read Cunningham's introductions (pp. 110; 148) and answer the following questions after you have read the poems.

Elizabeth's Poetry EBB Images PB Bio Hope End ... Poetry Childhood Elizabeth Barrett was born into a multimillionaire (in modern terms) family whose fortune came from Jamaican sugar plantations which were worked, of course, by slaves. Her girlhood was spent very happily at the family's stately home in Herefordshire, England. She was the eldest of twelve children, and from the beginning something of a child prodigy, highly intelligent, determined and dedicated to becoming a poet. She outclassed her brothers at Latin and Greek, and could soon read in the modern languages of French, Italian, and Portuguese. Poetry She wrote poetry from her earliest years, but at the age of 20 she began to interest wider literary circles. After the death of her mother in 1828, there followed many years of suffering and misfortune: deaths of brothers, a recurrence of her illness and the loss of the family fortune. Family disputes, adverse trading conditions and the end of slavery reduced the Barretts' income so drastically that the stately home had to be sold. There was, however, enough wealth left to support a very comfortable lifestyle in a fashionable area of London, 50 Wimpole Street. Her reputations as a poet and critic grew while she retreated to her sick room, unable to breathe in London's polluted air. Then one day she allowed

Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861) English poet, the wife of Robert Browning , the most respected and successful woman poet of the Victorian period. Elizabeth Browning was considered seriously for the laureateship that eventually was awarded to Tennyson in 1850. Her greatest work, SONNETS FROM THE PORTUGUESE (1850), is a sequence of love sonnets addresses to her husband. Browning's vivid intelligence and ethereal physical appearance made a lifelong impression to Ruskin, Carlyle, Thackeray, Rossetti, Hawthorne, and many others. "What do we give to out beloved? A little faith all undisproved A little dust to overweep, And bitter memories to make The whole earth blasted for our sake. He giveth His beloved, sleep." (from 'The Sleep') Elizabeth Barrett Moulton-Barrett was born at Coxhoe Hall, near Durham. Her father was Edward Moulton-Barrett, whose wealth was derived from sugar plantations in the British colony of Jamaica. Mary Graham-Clarke, her mother, came from a family with similar commercial interests. Elizabeth grew up in the west of England and was largely educated at home by a tutor, quickly learning French, Latin and Greek. Both parents supported her early writing and many of her birthday odes to her parents and siblings still survive. At the age of 14, she wrote her first collection of verse, THE BATTLE OF MARATHON. It was followed by AN ESSAY ON MIND (1826), privately printed at her father's expense. Her translation of PROMETHEUS BOUND (1833) with other poems appeared anonymously. Browning's first work to gain critical attention was THE SERAPHIM, AND OTHER POEMS (1838).

Elizabeth Moulton-Barrett was born March 6, 1806 at Coxhoe Hall, Durham, England, the eldest of 12 children of an autocratic father who forbade his children to marry. The family fortune came from Jamaican sugar plantations worked, of course, by slaves. Her girlhood was spent very happily at the family's stately home in Herefordshire, England. Elizabeth was educated at home, learning Greek, Latin, and several modern languages, including Portuguese, at an early age. She began writing very young, and in 1819, her father arranged for the printing of one of her poems (she was 13 at the time.) At 15 she was faced with the limitations of being a woman while her brothers were sent away for their education. Loneliness, loss and frustration perhaps predisposed her to physical illness some virus infection, a chronic lung ailment, then measles and continuing spasms of pain and fever. In 1821, Elizabeth injured her spine as a result of a fall. She recovered after more than a year, but was never again in robust health. After the death of her mother there followed many years of suffering and misfortune, deaths of brothers, a recurrence of her illness and the loss of the family fortune. Family disputes, adverse trading conditions and the end of slavery reduced the Barretts' income so that the stately home had to be sold.

She was the eldest of twelve children of an autocratic father who forbade his children to marry. Elizabeth began writing at a very young age, publishing her first works while in her teens. From an early age Elizabeth suffered a chronic lung ailment. She spent most of her time in a darkened room writing poety and many letters. The famous English poet Robert Browning admired her "Poems" (1844) so much that he wrote to her. They met, fell in love, and were secretly married in 1846. Soon after their marriage they ran away to Florence, Italy, where Elizabeth began a remarkable physical recovery. In 1849, they had a son, Robert Wiedeman Barrett Browning. She increasingly took up contemporary issues including the Italian Nationalist cause, the abolition of slavery in the United States, and the position of women in Victorian society. Elizabeth died on June 29, 1861. Many critics agree that Elizabeth's best poems appear in "Sonnets from the Portuguese," a series of 44 sonnets recording the growth of her love for Robert Browning.
